Ingredients and Substitutions
Ground Beef: The meat of this Asian inspired dish. We use 2 pounds of 90/10 ground beef for this recipe.
Soy Sauce: Both light and dark soy sauce are used.

How to Make the Asian Garlic Beef Bowl Over Rice
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef until it's cooked thoroughly. Drain and pat dry. Turn the heat down to low and add the beef back to the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together both soy sauces, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar. Mix in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and continue whisking until the sauce is completely mixed. (This can be done while the ground beef is cooking, just be sure to stir it once in a while as you're waiting for the beef to get done).
- Stir the soy sauce mixture into the cooked ground beef and mix well.
- Add the mung bean sprouts and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the diced onions and shredded carrots.
- Remove from heat and cover with a lid. This will allow the onions and carrots to soften. Let it sit for about three minutes.
- Serve over rice.
