EASY Korean Beef and Rice
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef 3 cloves garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder) 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (can omit if you don't like spicy food) 1/4 teaspoon pepper (can omit if you don't like spicy food) 2 cups of your favourite hot cooked rice sliced green onions and sesame seeds (completely optional) Directions: In a large skillet cook the ground beef and garlic, breaking it up, over medium heat until no longer pink. In a small bowl whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes and pepper. Pour over the ground beef and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Serve over hot rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with your favourite veggies on the side. OPTIONAL CHANGES: ~Use regular sugar instead of brown sugar if you don't have any (adding 1 teaspoon of molasses will make it taste more like brown sugar)
~If you like it with a lot of sauce, double the sauce. ~Add 1 can lentils, drained and rinsed (about 2 cups cooked, if using dried) to the hamburger when adding sauce. You may want to double the sauce if doing this. ~Use diced chicken, pork or beef instead of ground beef ~To make it vegan, use 1-2 cans of lentils or chickpeas, drained and rinsed. (Or the equivalent dried and cooked). Use steamed cauliflower, or broccoli, or cooked diced veggies of your choice. This recipe is very adaptable and my very fussy 9 year old loves it.
