03 -
2 green onions, chopped (keep some for topping)
04 -
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
05 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
07 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
08 -
1 pound ground beef (80/20 works great)
→ Optional Toppings & Add-ins

Fried egg

Bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or spinach
11 -
Pickled vegetables
12 -
Kimchi
13 -
Sliced cucumber
14 -
Sesame seeds for sprinkling
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss your favorite toppings on first—like kimchi or a runny fried egg—so they're ready to go. Add extra green onions or sesame seeds and let them hang out while you finish the rest.
02 -
Heap the seasoned beef on the rice in your bowl. Scatter veggies or whatever extras you like over the top. Give it all a final sprinkle of anything you want.
03 -
Mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and those green onions. Throw in a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it chill on the stove for a couple of minutes so everything blends nicely.
04 -
Start cooking the ground beef in a big skillet on medium-high. Break it apart while it cooks, and once it's browned and there's no pink left (takes about 5 minutes), pour off the extra fat if there's a lot. Pop in the ginger and garlic, stir them for about a minute or so—you'll smell when they're done.
