Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (85% lean) (Choose lean beef to avoid excess grease.)
- 2 cups Jasmine rice (Can substitute basmati or cauliflower rice.)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce or tamari (Use tamari for gluten-free.)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar (Adjust for desired sweetness.)
- 1 tbsp Gochujang (Optional for heat.)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (Use fresh garlic for best flavor.)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated (Enhances the overall flavor.)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar or lime juice (To finish the dish.)
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil (Add nutty aroma.)

Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse jasmine rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package directions. Keep warm.
- In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles. Let it sit for a minute to brown before stirring.
- If necessary, pour off excess fat.
- Stir in any reserved garlic or ginger if desired, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and let it bubble for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
- Turn off the heat and stir in sesame oil and sliced green onions.
Serving
- Spoon the beef mixture over the warm rice and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Customize the bowl with toppings like kimchi, cucumbers, or a fried egg. For lower-carb variations, serve over cauliflower rice or shredded cabbage.
