Stovetop: Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing.

Rice Cooker: Add rinsed rice and water to the rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Instant Pot: Combine rinsed rice and water in the pot. Seal the lid, cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, then allow a natural release.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks, browning for 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Stir well and let simmer for a couple of minutes to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon a generous amount of cooked rice into a bowl.

Layer the seasoned beef on top.

Add steamed or fresh vegetables, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots.

Garnish with sesame seeds, extra green onions, kimchi, or a fried egg.
