Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium, diced white onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
• 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon ginger powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or deep-sided pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the white rice and mix well with the beef. Let the rice toast lightly for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ginger powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas and carrots mix to the skillet and stir well. Let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the vegetables through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Oriental Rice Hamburger Helper!
