For the Beef Mixture

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Once the beef is cooked, add in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce and brown sugar, mixing well to coat the beef. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until bubbly and thickened.
  4. While the beef mixture simmers, prepare your rice according to package instructions.
  5. In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice, then spoon the beef mixture on top. Finish with fresh vegetables.
  6. Serve warm, drizzling extra sauce over vegetables if desired.
