A delicious Korean-inspired beef rice bowl featuring ground beef, honey-drizzled matchstick carrots, topped with sour cream and Sriracha.
(or .25 tsp ground cayenne powder)
In a large skillet, cook garlic for a few minutes or until fragrant. For extra spice, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to the Bulgogi sauce in the second step if you prefer). Add and cook 1 lb of ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once it has fully browned, make sure to drain the excess fat.
Add 1/4 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of aji seasoning, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger to a small bowl and whisk, adding the sauce to the pan and stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, heat another skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups of matchstick carrots and drizzle desired amount of honey over top the carrots and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare bowls by adding cooked rice as a base, then top each bowl with the bulgogi beef and sautéed carrots.
Combine 1/4 teaspoon of Sriracha and 1 tablespoon of sour cream in a small bowl. Add small amounts of cold water and whisk until the sauce has reached a drizzle consistency. Pour a spoonful over the top of each bowl to taste. Serve immediately.
