Ingredients
Beef and Sauce
- 800 g extra lean beef mince
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger paste or fresh grated ginger
- 250 ml Teriyaki sauce
Vegetables
- 30 g spring onions, thinly sliced
- 200 g carrots, peeled and julienned
- 100 g red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 200 g edamame, shelled
Grains
- 500 g cooked rice (or 160 g uncooked rice, cooked per package instructions)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and julienne the carrots, thinly slice the red cabbage and spring onions, then set all aside for assembly.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the beef mince. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger paste. Cook for another minute until the mixture becomes fragrant, enhancing the flavor of the beef.
- Combine with Teriyaki Sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to evenly coat the beef. Add sliced spring onions and continue cooking for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef attains a glossy finish.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with the teriyaki beef mixture, julienned carrots, sliced cabbage, and edamame for a balanced meal.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with additional spring onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. Serve the bowls warm.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts as a garnish.
- Use frozen edamame for convenience; just thaw them before assembling.
- Adjust the sweetness or saltiness of teriyaki sauce to taste by adding soy sauce or honey if desired.
- Leftover bowls can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated.
- Substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain alternative.
