What You Need:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey if you wanna be healthy)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder if you’re lazy, no shame)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced (or ½ tsp ground ginger, whatever works)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium if you wanna be good)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (makes it so good)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (adds that bomb flavor)
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (spicy, but not too spicy)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for that fancy look)
  • Cooked white rice (because you need something to soak up that sauce)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, but makes it pretty)


How to Make It:

1️⃣ Cook the beef – Heat a pan over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon until it’s cooked through. Drain any grease if needed.

2️⃣ Add flavor – Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for about 1 minute until it smells amazing.

3️⃣ Sauce it up – Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.

4️⃣ Assemble the bowls – Spoon some rice into a bowl, pile that juicy beef on top, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

5️⃣ DEVOUR. Seriously, that’s it.


What to Serve with It:

  • Steamed broccoli (balance, right?)
  • Fried egg on top (game changer)
  • Kimchi for that extra Korean vibe
  • Lettuce wraps if you wanna be fancy
