Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for serving

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 5–6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain the fat.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Simmer 2–3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce reduces slightly and turns syrupy, coating the beef in a glossy glaze.
  5. Spoon over hot rice and shower with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Day-old rice reheats best — spread it in the bowl and microwave covered with a damp paper towel.
