Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Seasonings and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Base:
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
- Warm a skillet with fragrant sesame oil over medium flame, creating a sizzling base for the dish.
- Introduce ground beef to the pan, methodically crumbling and browning the meat while eliminating excess fat.
- Incorporate colorful bell peppers and onions, allowing them to soften and release their aromatic essence for several minutes.
- Enrich the mixture with a harmonious blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and optional red pepper flakes, letting the flavors intertwine and intensify.
- Gently fold cooked rice into the skillet, ensuring each grain becomes thoroughly coated with the savory sauce.
- Transfer the vibrant mixture into serving bowls, crowning the creation with delicate, thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, crisp finish.
- Serve immediately while the rice bowl radiates warmth and tantalizing aromas.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting red pepper flakes to suit your spice tolerance.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter protein alternative.
- Boost vegetable content by adding extra bell peppers or including zucchini and carrots for more nutrition.
- Use day-old rice for better texture, as slightly dried rice prevents clumping and absorbs sauce more effectively.
