Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water
2 cups assorted stir-fry vegetables (like broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas)
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 tbsp oil (for stir-frying vegetables)
Optional: sesame seeds, scallions, fried egg (for topping)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and slightly crispy. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well. Let it simmer and thicken, coating the beef in a glossy glaze.
5. In a separate skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add vegetables and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant.
6. To assemble, scoop hot rice into bowls, top with the spicy ground beef, and finish with stir-fried veggies.
7. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped scallions, or a fried egg if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
