Description

Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 250 g ground beef
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Accompaniment
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain Excess Fat: If there is excess fat released from the beef, carefully drain it off to prevent greasiness.
- Add Aromatics and Seasoning: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan along with the soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients and let cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the tablespoon of sesame oil over the beef mixture and stir to incorporate the nutty flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Serve: Spoon the cooked beef mixture over bowls of hot cooked rice, then garnish with the sliced green onions for freshness and a mild onion flavor.
Notes
- Add a pinch of chili flakes if you prefer a spicy kick to the dish.
- Serve alongside steamed vegetables such as broccoli or bok choy for a more balanced meal.
