Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Gochugaru ((substitute 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes))
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon O Organics light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound O Organics ground beef
  • Sliced scallions and toasted O Organics sesame seeds (for garnishing)

Instruction

  • In a bowl, dissolve the cornstarch into the water until no white lumps remain. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, Gochugaru, garlic, ginger and brown sugar, whisking to combine. Reserve.
  • Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet, over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking the meat apart into smaller pieces, until it is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. If necessary, drain off any excess grease before adding the sauce.
  • Pour the reserved sauce and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, about 5 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetness (brown sugar), spiciness (Gochugaru) and/or saltiness (soy sauce).
  • Serve over rice (brown, jasmine or white), garnished with toasted sesame seeds and scallions. You can also top with raw or cooked veggies, if desired.
