There's nothing wrong with a traditional burrito: rice, refried beans, guac, meat, cheese, you name it, all wrapped up in the perfect tortilla, but, this Asian-style crispy beef burrito is next level. The secret is really in the sauce and it’s super simple to make. Mix green onions, fresh garlic and ginger with soy sauce, hoisin sauce and chili crisp – it’s salty and sweet with a little heat and caramelizes on the hot plancha, crisping up your beef so nicely. The crispy beef, grilled up vegetables and chow mein noodles could be a complete dish on its own, but it is extra delicious wrapped up in a couple of large tortillas with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber and served with kewpie mayo.
Enjoy!

Instructions
Thinly slice your beef. Place in a bowl and add your all-purpose flour and salt. Mix so the beef is coated. Set aside.
To make your sauce, slice your green onions and garlic, place in a bowl. Peel your ginger and grate into your bowl with a microplane. Add in the soy sauce, hoisin and chili crisp. Mix and set aside.
Finely chop your carrots and red pepper. Thinly slice your cucumbers length-wise and set aside.
Add your beef on the hot plancha, then your mushrooms, carrots, peppers and chow mein noodles separately onto the plancha. Allow the beef to cook and crisp up, make sure to move it around while cooking. Once your vegetables are slightly softened, add the pea shoots to the plancha and mix in with your other vegetables. Then, mix your vegetables and noodles together. Spoon your sauce over the vegetables and noodles and allow to cook. Spoon sauce over the beef and allow to cook. Once the sauce has cooked down, remove your noodles and vegetables from the plancha and place in a bowl, then remove the beef and place in a separate bowl.
To build, shred your lettuce. Place your first tortilla on a flat surface. In the centre of your tortilla, put down a handful of lettuce and about 3-4 slices of cucumber. Top with the noodle and vegetable mix, then with the beef. Roll your burrito and then place in your second tortilla and roll again, for a double layer. Add the burrito to the plancha and let the outside toast, flip to toast both sides. Remove from the plancha and serve with kewpie mayo.
