Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes, whisking until smooth. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add ground beef, cooking until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and stir in the prepared sauce, simmering for an additional 2 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
- In the same skillet, add a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped kimchi, sesame oil, and sugar, allowing it to cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally until the kimchi turns slightly caramelized and fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha, adjusting the amount of Sriracha to suit your heat preference. Stir until well combined and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with nonstick spray. Begin by spreading a single layer of sturdy tortilla chips evenly across the sheet. Top the chips with the cooked Korean beef mixture and a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they cook; you'll know they’re ready when the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the chips are hot.
- Once baked, remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top them with the caramelized kimchi. Drizzle generously with the Sriracha mayo, and finish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
