Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Stir in the white rice and mix well with the beef. Let the rice toast lightly for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Oriental Rice Hamburger Helper!
