# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Wash 1 cup of rice in cold water. Keep rinsing until the water stays clear. Put it in a pot with 2 cups of water. Let it boil, then cover and simmer super low for 15 minutes. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing it up with a fork.
02 -
Heat up a skillet on medium-high heat and toss in the ground beef. Break it up while it cooks using a spatula. Once it’s browned, which takes 5-7 minutes, drain any extra fat if needed. Mix in the ginger and garlic, and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes until you smell it.
03 -
Pour in the sesame oil and soy sauce, then toss in the chopped green onions. Sprinkle some salt and pepper, mix it all together, and let it heat for a couple more minutes so the flavors soak in.
04 -
Start with a big scoop of rice as the base. Layer the saucy beef over the top. Pile on extras like veggies or kimchi all around the beef. Finish with sesame seeds, more green onions, and anything else you want, like a runny egg.
