  • ¼ cup soy sauce regular
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoon rice wine
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • ground black pepper a few sprinkles
  • ½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil

GROUND BEEF BOWL

  • cooking oil I used rice bran oil
  • 500 g beef mince (1.1 pound)
  • ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice of your choice (e.g. sushi rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, brown rice, purple rice, and cauliflower rice etc.)

SIDE DISH IDEAS (OPTIONAL)

  • avocado thinly sliced
  • cucumber thinly sliced
  • pink radish thinly sliced
  • broccoli steamed or pan fried
  • asparagus pan fried

BIBIMBAP SAUCE (OPTIONAL)

  • 2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ground beef sauce in a medium size bowl and whisk well. Set aside. If using bibimbap sauce, combine all the sauce in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • In a well heated skillet, cook the ground beef over medium high heat until the meat mostly turns brown (about 3-4 mins). Stir often while breaking clumps of the meat.
  • Pour the ground beef sauce over the meat and simmer for 2-3 mins, while stirring occasionally. Add the sesame seeds and green onions. Stir around quickly. Remove from the heat.
  • Serve the cooked beef over a bed of cooked rice. (Optional) Top up with your choice of sides and drizzle over the bibimbap sauce.
