Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20) Provides perfect fat content for flavor and crispiness.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Honey Reduces for a lighter touch.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Add towards the end of cooking to avoid bitterness.
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce Use coconut aminos or tamari for a gluten-free option.
For the Rice
  • 2 cups Rice (preferably chilled or day-old) Using chilled rice ensures better crisping.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Seasonal Vegetables Toss in any veggies like bell peppers or carrots.
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Add for an exciting kick.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • medium skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until hot. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until it’s nicely browned and crispy on the bottom.
  2. Once the beef is crispy, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, drizzle in honey and soy sauce, mixing well. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Prepare another skillet over medium heat and add in your chilled or day-old rice. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice turns golden and crispy on the edges.
  4. Gently fold the crispy rice into the beef and glaze, stirring to evenly coat all the rice. Serve immediately in bowls with the glazing sauce drizzled on top.
