Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and chopping all your vegetables and mincing several cloves of fresh garlic.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds before adding ground beef.
  3. Incorporate the ground beef, breaking it apart and stirring in soy sauce, chili flakes, and brown sugar. Cook until beef is browned and coated in sauce, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add chopped garlic. Cook mushrooms for about 2 minutes before adding zucchini, red bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Serve the steamed white rice in bowls as the base and top with the savory ground beef and vibrant garlic veggies.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice to avoid stickiness. Adjust chili flakes for spice levels and consider adding fresh herbs or toppings for extra flavor.
