Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons minced ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 pound ground beef

1 carrot, diced

1 bell pepper, cut julienne

1 cup sugar snap peas, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)

4 cups cooked white rice


Instructions

  • Cook the Rice
    Prepare white rice according to package directions. Keep warm.

  • Make the Sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

  • Brown the Beef
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.

  • Add Aromatics
    Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Add Sauce
    Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.

  • Add Vegetables
    Add diced carrot, bell pepper, and sliced sugar snap peas. Cook for 3–5 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  • Finish with Cilantro
    Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving.

 

  • Assemble Bowls
    Spoon rice into bowls and top with the Korean ground beef and veggie mixture. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.


Notes

  • For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.

  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator
