# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Brown until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Then, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
03 -
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes so the flavors meld together.
04 -
Spoon a generous amount of cooked rice into the bottom of your bowl. Top the rice with the seasoned ground beef mixture. If using any additional vegetables, add them on top or around the beef. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and any other toppings you prefer, like kimchi or a fried egg.
