Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups water or beef broth

How to Make Beef Rice Bowl with Egg

1. Start by cooking the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice with 2 cups of water or beef broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the beef. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the eggs and cook for about 6-7 minutes for a soft-cooked egg. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs.
5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the seasoned ground beef, a soft-cooked egg, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, try marinating the ground beef in soy sauce and sesame oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
• If you prefer your egg more runny, cook it for 5-6 minutes instead of 6-7.
• Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for added crunch and nutrition.
• Swap jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed broccoli or bok choy for a side of greens.
• A simple cucumber salad to add freshness.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
