Ingredients

Pantry

  • 2 cups White Rice

  • 1 Onion

  • ¼ cup Peanuts

  • 1 tbs Cornstarch

  • 2 tbs Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos

  • 2 tbs Brown Sugar

Fridge and Freezer

  • 12 oz Green Beans

  • 1 tbs minced Ginger

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Wash and dry green beans. Discard brown or limp beans and stems. Peel and slice the onion.

  2. Cook the rice with a rice cooker or the video.

  3. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and onion and cook until browned. Remove to a bowl and return the skillet to the heat.

  4. In the skillet, cook the ground beef, breaking up with a spatula, until browned. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add ¼ cup water, the soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten and soy free), and brown sugar. Cook and stir until thickened.

  5. Divide the rice into 6 bowls and serve topped with green beans, beef, and peanuts (optional). This recipe makes 6 servings. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
