Ingredients
- extra glaze, to taste
- toasted sesame seeds, to taste
- lime wedges, to taste
Kebabs
- 2 lb ground beef
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 4 green onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Vietnamese Hot Honey Glaze
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 fl oz butter
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 fl oz lime juice
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 430°F (428°F) using the fan/convection setting.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, fish sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
- 3Trim the rounded edges off each tortilla to make them square. Spread a thin, even layer of the meat mixture (about 2–3 mm thick) over each tortilla.
- 4Stack the tortillas, then cut the stack into 4–6 equal strips. Insert wooden skewers through the center of each strip to hold them together.
- 5Place the kebabs on a parchment‑lined baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes.
- 6While the kebabs bake, make the glaze: combine hot sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, honey, butter, grated garlic, and lime juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until glossy, bubbling, and slightly thickened.
- 7Remove the kebabs from the oven. Brush them generously with the glaze, flip, brush again, and return to the oven for another 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- 8For extra color, switch on the broiler (grill) for the final 2–3 minutes.
- 9Transfer the kebabs to a serving board. Drizzle lightly with any remaining glaze and sprinkle with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and cilantro.
- 10Serve with lime wedges and a small bowl of the remaining glaze for dipping.
