Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Beef Rice Bowl with Soft-Boiled Egg

1. Start by cooking the jasmine rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 ½ cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the ground beef. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and the beef is coated. Remove from heat.
4. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled texture. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs.
5. To serve, fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among bowls. Top each bowl with the seasoned ground beef, a soft-boiled egg cut in half, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider marinating the ground beef in soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Use a rice cooker for perfectly fluffy rice every time.
• Adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce or a splash of chili sauce for heat.

Easy Variations

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat for a lighter option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli to the beef mixture for added nutrition.
• Try different toppings like avocado slices, pickled ginger, or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed edamame for a healthy side.
• A simple cucumber salad for a refreshing crunch.
• Miso soup to complement the meal.
