Ingredients

Ginger Fried Beef:

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 1 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, fresh, grated
• ½ tsp chili flakes, dry
• 1 pound Bump Plant Enhanced Ground Beef
• 2 ¼ cup mushroom, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

Rice and Veggies:

• 1/3 cup kimchi

Method

Ginger Fried Beef

1. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce and brown sugar together and set aside.
2. Heat canola oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.
3. Add Bump Plant Enhanced Ground Beef to the pan and increase heat to medium high. Break apart the meat to form small pea sized chunks. After about 3 minutes of cooking, add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
4. Mix in the soy sauce and brown sugar mixture evenly coating the bump and let it reduce for 3 minutes.
5. Turn off heat and add green onions, sesame oil and sesame seeds then mix to combine. Set aside.

Assembly:

1. Scoop 1 cup of cooked rice on to a plate or bowl.
2. Add ¼ of the Ginger Fried Beef Mixture on top of rice. Top with kimchi, cucumber and carrots.
3. Enjoy!

Notes: Other additional toppings could include fried egg, thinly sliced green onions, shredded iceberg lettuce and thinly sliced radishes. Garnish with additional toasted sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and a fresh wedge of lime.
