Korean Beef and Rice

I love taking dishes like Korean Beef and Rice that are inspired from my culture and combining ingredients to make them in my home here in the USA.

Made with crumbled ground beef in a sweet, garlic, soya, ginger and red pepper flakes sauce that makes me feel like I’m back at my grandmother’s house again. I enjoy with brown rice but you can use traditional jasmine rice too, if you like!
