Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying eggs)

How to Make Beef Rice Bowl with Fried Egg

1. Start by cooking the jasmine rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with 1 ½ cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
6. To assemble the bowls, fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top with the savory ground beef mixture, shredded carrots, and a fried egg. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, especially the ginger and garlic.
• Adjust the soy sauce according to your salt preference.
• For a spicy kick, add some sriracha or chili flakes to the beef mixture.
• Make sure not to overcook the eggs if you prefer a runny yolk.

Easy Variations

• Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas to the beef mixture.
• Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed edamame for a protein boost.
• A side of pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
• Asian-inspired salad with sesame dressing for added crunch.
