Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef

Grains:

  • 1 cup (200 grams) uncooked jasmine rice

Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)

Garnish:

  • Scallions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare jasmine rice following package directions, ensuring fluffy and perfectly cooked grains.
  2. Select a large skillet and heat over medium-high temperature, allowing surface to become hot before adding ground beef.
  3. Crumble ground beef into skillet, cooking thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until meat loses pink color and develops rich brown edges.
  4. Drain excess fat from skillet, maintaining meat’s moisture and preventing greasiness.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and introduce flavor components: brown sugar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  6. Stir sauce ingredients vigorously, coating beef evenly and creating a glossy, caramelized texture.
  7. Return skillet to medium heat and incorporate chopped bell peppers, allowing vegetables to soften and meld with seasoned meat.
  8. Cook peppers for 2-3 minutes, maintaining their crisp texture and vibrant color.
  9. Transfer fluffy rice to serving bowls as a foundation for the beef mixture.
  10. Generously spoon seasoned beef and pepper combination over rice.
  11. 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.
