METHOD

Step 1: Rinse rice until water runs clear(er). In a small saucepan add 2 cups of water, a pinch of salt , rice and cook over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Place a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil to the pan. Once oil is warmed – add the ground beef and break apart. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until beef is lightly browned – about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add shallots, ginger, garlic, coconut aminos, onion powder,  red pepper flakes, fish sauce and honey – stir to combine with the beef and cook until it becomes crispy. 

Step 4: Assemble the bowls! Divide the rice, beef and vegetables evenly into the desired amount of bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh green onion and a lime wedge!
