Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 cup White rice
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to release the flavors.
Add the white rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the beef and seasoning mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice mixture with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
