Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef Mixture:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for optimal flavor)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice)
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced cucumber
- Kimchi
- Pickled vegetables
- Vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or spinach)
- Fried egg (for added richness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice – Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Alternatively, use a rice cooker or Instant Pot, following the manufacturer’s instructions or cooking on high pressure for 3 minutes with a natural release.
- Cook the Ground Beef – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart as it cooks, browning until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.
- Assemble the Bowl – Spoon cooked rice into serving bowl. Top with seasoned ground beef mixture. Add choice of vegetables around the beef. Finish with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and preferred toppings like kimchi, pickled vegetables, or a fried egg.
