Ground Beef Bulgogi Bowl

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, sliced

1 Tbsp minced garlic

Oil, for cooking

Sesame oil, for finishing

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped scallion, for garnish

Kimchi or radish kimchi, for serving

Cooked rice, for serving

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2 Tbsp mirin

4 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

1 Tbsp Korean plum syrup (sub: 1 Tbsp water + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar)

Peel and slice the onion; set aside.

Combine the brown sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and plum syrup (or substitute). Mix well and set aside.

Heat a little oil in a pan. Add the sliced onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Add the ground beef and break it into small pieces. Once the beef is about 30% cooked, pour in the sauce. Let it simmer until the sauce reduces and evaporates, stirring occasionally. (This takes a little time, but it's worth it.)

Drizzle with sesame oil and give it a final mix.

Assemble bowls with rice, scallions, sesame seeds, and kimchi or the veggie of your choice.
