I didn't care for this recipe very much at all. I didn't have any fresh ginger so not sure if that makes the difference or not. I put this in a tortilla like others suggested and only topped it with some cheese. The ground beef had a strange flavor, I didn't taste the orange at all, there was a bit of a kick to it but other than that it was somewhat on the dry side. I can't imagine putting this over rice as there was no extra sauce. My husband thought the recipe was just ok. only one of my kids would even try it, and I did not like it at all. This isn't a recipe I will be making again.

We liked this and will make it again! I sweated a carrot and celery stalks (diced) with the meat as it browned. I added 1 medium diced tomato. I would go heavier on the orange zest/juice and the ginger next time. I added 1/2 cup of cilantro after adding the meat back to the cornstarch mixture. Then I added some coarsely chopped cashews. Lastly I topped it with 1/3 cup sharp shredded white cheddar (pepper jack would be nice, too) and 1/2 cup of shredded fresh basil. Soy sauce was a nice balance to the mild sweet of the hoisin. Served over a little white rice AND a corn tortilla to see which we liked. I'd probably do rice/orzo/couscous for future times. You could also wrap in a lettuce leaf. Very versatile. Thanks, Tebo!
