Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • For the Veggies:
    • 1 cup broccoli florets
    • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
    • 1/2 zucchini, sliced
    • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • For the Base:
    • 1 cup steamed white rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping them. Mince the garlic. Measure out all sauces and seasonings.

  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  5. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
  6. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add soy sauce and toss well.
  7. To serve, place hot steamed rice into bowls. Arrange beef and vegetables on top. Spoon any extra sauce over the bowl for added flavor.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with turkey or tofu for a lighter or vegetarian version.
  • Top with a fried egg for added protein and richness.
  • For more heat, drizzle with sriracha or add extra chili flakes.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice to adjust to your dietary preferences.
