# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse 200 g rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine with 480 ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break apart with a spatula. Brown until no longer pink, approximately 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
03 - Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - Incorporate soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and black pepper, and let simmer 2 minutes for flavors to meld.
05 - Spoon cooked rice into each bowl. Top with seasoned beef. Arrange optional vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or spinach as desired.
06 - Finish with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and preferred toppings like sliced cucumber, kimchi, pickled vegetables, or a fried egg.

# Additional Information:

01 - For a gluten-free meal, use tamari in place of regular soy sauce.
02 - Customize bowls with seasonal vegetables or adjust protein as desired.
03 - Perfect for meal prep—store beef and rice separately for best texture.
