Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups cooked white rice
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup chopped spinach (or baby spinach)
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef.
Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with beef, shredded carrots, spinach, and green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Add a fried egg on top for extra richness.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To make it spicy, add gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the sauce.
