- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce

- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions
- Prepare jasmine rice following package directions, ensuring fluffy and perfectly cooked grains.
- Select a large skillet and heat over medium-high temperature, allowing surface to become hot before adding ground beef.
- Crumble ground beef into skillet, cooking thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until meat loses pink color and develops rich brown edges.
- Drain excess fat from skillet, maintaining meat’s moisture and preventing greasiness.
- Remove skillet from heat and introduce flavor components: brown sugar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
- Stir sauce ingredients vigorously, coating beef evenly and creating a glossy, caramelized texture.
- Return skillet to medium heat and incorporate chopped bell peppers, allowing vegetables to soften and meld with seasoned meat.
- Cook peppers for 2-3 minutes, maintaining their crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Transfer fluffy rice to serving bowls as a foundation for the beef mixture.
- Generously spoon seasoned beef and pepper combination over rice.
- Enhance presentation and flavor by garnishing with freshly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- Customize rice texture by rinsing before cooking to remove excess starch for fluffier results.
- Select lean ground beef to minimize grease and create a cleaner, healthier dish.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for more vibrant, authentic Korean flavor profile.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing sriracha according to personal heat tolerance.
