Introduction
I made this along side the PF Chang's Chicken wraps recipe and served with brown rice.....VERY tasty. It is adapted from one I found on AllRecipes.com.This recipe does call for quite a bit of prep work but I feel it's worth it in the end. Everything goes quicker if you have a food processer.

1/2 cup shredded carrots chopped
1 cup mushroom slices chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil

2. In a medium skillet over high heat, brown the ground beef in 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring often and reducing the heat to medium, if necessary. Drain, and set aside to cool. Cook the onion in the same pan, stirring frequently. Add teh mushrooms and carrots. Add the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, vinegar, and chile pepper sauce to the onions, and stir.
