Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 85/15
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 4 fried or soft-boiled eggs optional

Method
 

  1. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, breaking apart with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  4. Divide rice among bowls; spoon the beef mixture on top.
  5. Top each bowl with a fried egg, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
