For the Beef Mixture

  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced is preferable for a punchy flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Ground ginger can be used if needed.
For the Veggies
  • 3 stalks Green Onions Regular onions can work, but green onions shine as a garnish.

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until evenly browned.
  2. Once the beef is cooked, lower the heat and stir in the minced garlic and fresh ginger. Sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine with the beef mixture. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce heats up.
  4. Incorporate chopped vegetables into the skillet, sauté for 3–5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
  5. Prepare bowls of cooked rice and spoon the beef and vegetable mixture generously over the rice.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and optional toppings like sesame seeds or a fried egg before serving.
