Korean ground beef and rice bowls
One of the most popular Asian dinners in my household now has to be this dish! It takes very little work and only a few simple ingredients to prepare. Not to mention that it takes around 20 minutes to complete. Every time we have a need for quick and delicious Asian food, we usually cook it. It takes only a few minutes to prepare and cook, and the cooking time is between 10 and 15 minutes. Your favorite Korean restaurant dish can be quickly and easily prepared at home. Additionally, if you have any leftover cooked rice, dinner will be ready shortly!
This recipe will be a hit with you because it is inexpensive and uses ingredients that you almost always have on hand. Although fresh ginger can be used in this, it is not usually readily available, so feel free to use ginger powder instead. Similar to this, when fresh ginger is available, you can purchase it and freeze it for later use.
