Vietnamese Caramelised MincedGround Meat

This is NO way authentic but just easy and delish.  I put in "meat" because you can use any type of ground meat like pork, chicken, lamb, veal or beef etc. 

• 1 lb of meat your choice, lean as possible. 
• 1 onion, chopped bite-sized to diced. (your preference)
• 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped/diced
• 1 inch of ginger, grated or diced finely
• 1-2 tsp skinny chilis, like bird eye, cayenne or your favorite hot sauce!
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 tbsp of fish sauce, currently love red goat brand
• 1 tbsp of soy sauce, or aminos.
• 3-4 green onions/scallions, chopped finely for garnish 

In a large skillet, combine meat and onion over medium-high heat.  If there's not enough fat in the meat to keep it from sticking, add a touch of oil.  Cook till browned all over, add garlic and ginger.  Cook for another minute.  While that is cooking, whisk the chili, sugar, fish sauce and soy in a ramekin/small bowl.  Then add to the meat mixture.  Stir through and cover for 3 minutes or so.  Then take lid off and let it evaporate completely stirring frequently.  Once all the liquid is absorbed, take off heat and top with chopped green onions.  You can serve this over rice or with butter lettuce leaves.
