Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1½ tsp ground ginger)

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in carrots and beef broth. Bring to a gentle boil. Add rice, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15–20 minutes, until rice is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add red pepper flakes or chili crisp if you want extra heat. Serve warm.
