kcalIngredients
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
1 zucchini, julienned
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying eggs)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or scallions for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the carrot and zucchini. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook the vegetables for another 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Spread the rice evenly across the skillet and allow it to crisp up for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until parts of the rice are golden and crispy.
- While the rice crisps, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a separate small pan. Fry the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the crisped brown rice mixture between two plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro or scallions if desired.
