- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas or green beans (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for veggies)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- Sesame seeds (optional)
- Extra green onions for garnish
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Cook jasmine or basmati rice according to package instructions. Keep warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
- Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in sliced green onions.
- In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas with garlic, salt, and pepper until crisp-tender.
- Assemble bowls with rice, spoonfuls of spicy ground beef, and garlic veggies.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and lime wedges if desired.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or tofu for variation.
- Use any mix of veggies you have — mushrooms, cabbage, or zucchini work well.
- For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
- Top with a fried or soft-boiled egg for extra richness.
