# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse your rice until the water runs clear. Add 1 cup rice and 2 cups water to a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
02 -
While the rice cooks, chop your garlic, ginger, and green onions. Get all your seasonings ready - this dish comes together quick!
03 -
Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef, breaking it up as it browns. Once it's no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes), drain off extra fat if you want.
04 -
Toss in your minced garlic and ginger with the beef. Let them get fragrant for about a minute, then pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add your green onions and season with salt and pepper. Let everything bubble together for a couple minutes.
05 -
Start with a nice bed of rice, top with your seasoned beef, and add any veggies you're using. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, extra green onions, and maybe that fried egg on top if you're feeling fancy!
# Notes:
