recipe
- Step 1
Clean & thinly slice the cucumber. Add to a small bowl with a 1/4 tsp of rice vinegar, a 1/4 tsp of sesame oil & a pinch of salt. Toss it all together while lightly massaging the cucumbers & set aside. - Step 2
Rinse & thinly slice the scallion (optional). - Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, remaining rice vinegar, soy sauce, remaining sesame oil & 1 tbsp of kimchi juice (per serving) from the jar. Whisk it all together. - Step 4
Heat a drizzle of oil in skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Brown the meat for 3-4 min, breaking it up with the spatula as it cooks. Grate in the ginger & garlic. Stir it all together & cook for 2 more min. - Step 5
Once the beef is nearly cooked through, reduce the heat & pour in the sauce. Stir & simmer for 1-2 more min, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat. - Step 6
Drain any liquid from the marinated cucumbers. - Step 7
Stir half of the scallions into the saucy beef & heat the rice according to package instructions. (We love a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top!) Serve the beef over a fluffy bed of rice. Add the kimchi & cucumbers. Garnish with more fresh scallions & sesame seeds if you have! Enjoy!
