Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean chili paste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Serve the spicy Korean ground beef over cooked white rice.
