Note

For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure your hoisin sauce is gluten-free.

If venison is unavailable, ground beef or pork works well as a substitute.

Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the amount of minced red pepper.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to restore sauciness.

Toasted sesame oil is potent; use it sparingly for finishing rather than cooking.
