Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar light brown sugar
  • 4 green onions sliced, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 splash cooking oil

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Rice cooker or pot

Method
 

  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic, ginger, and green onions while cooking the rice.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as you go, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar and simmer for about 3 minutes to meld flavors together.
  5. Add bell peppers and carrots and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  6. Serve over warm rice, topped with sliced green onions.

Notes

Use lean ground beef for a healthier option. Can swap ground beef for turkey or tofu. Always peel ginger before grating. Save some green onions for garnish.
