Korean Rice Bowls

 I love eating at family members homes.  Their food always tastes so good!  Here is a tasty recipe from one of my amazing sister-in-laws!  This makes a great "Pot-luck" meal where you can divide out topping assignments.
1 ½ lbs ground turkey or ground beef or ground chicken
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt and pepper
½ c brown sugar
1 c low­ sodium soy sauce
½ c low ­sodium chicken or beef broth
2 TBS sesame oil
½ tsp red pepper flakes 
2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger

Garnishes/Toppings:
green onions, chopped
Hot, cooked sticky rice
Romaine lettuce, chopped
shredded carrots
red peppers, chopped
mung bean sprouts
spinach
sesame seeds
roasted zucchini
  • Start the rice cooking according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the meat, garlic and ¼ tsp salt and pepper. Cook, stirring to break the meat into small pieces, until the meat is cooked through and crumbly, about 7­10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, broth, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and ginger.  Stir the sauce into the meat and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes or so. 
  • In serving bowls layer lettuce, rice, and meat with sauce.  Serve topped with green onion, shredded carrots, sesame seeds.
