The Easiest High-Protein Ground Beef & Egg Rice Bowl Ever

Look from Seoul, high protein, cheap, easy. Sadly, you can't have it all, right? But don't worry about it. This bad boy has it all. Today we're gonna be making ground beef and egg rice bowl. One of my absolute favorite high protein rice bowls. Ground beef simmered in savory soy sauce, soft and silky eggs, and warm rice all in one bite. Trust me, once you try it, it's gonna be an amazing experience. So please give this a try. As always, you won't regret it. For this, you'll need some ground beef, onion, garlic, green onions, eggs, and rice. That's it. So simple right? Here, if you wanna add a little more texture and a deeper flavor, then bring some shiitake mushrooms. They're a total umami bomb. But honestly, these guys alone are more than enough, so I'm just gonna go with this. By the way, we have all the instructions and a list of ingredients on our blog, AaronAndClaire.com, so please visit here if you need a written recipe. Alright, let's start off with the vegetables. First, finely dice half an onion. Since we're gonna be using ground beef, chunky onions won't match the texture of the beef. So try to chop it as fine as you can. Next, smash 4 cloves of garlic and finely chop them. And then thinly slice 3 to 4 green onions. As always, we're gonna use the white parts to make a beautiful aromatic oil and the green parts for garnish. So make sure you keep them separate, like this. Now let's make the most important part, the sauce. In a large container, add 1 cup of water, half a tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder, 5 and a half tablespoons of soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of mirin, half a tablespoon of sugar and give it a good mix. What? No chicken bouillon powder at home? Don't worry about it. Then try this dashida, Korean beef stock powder. It will give you a richer, more beefy flavor, so it might be even tastier. Alright, everything is ready. Let's get cooking. In a large pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once it's nice and hot, add 1 pound of ground beef, spread it out and season with a pinch of salt. And then let it sear for about 2 minutes. When the bottom turns golden brown, flip, break up the beef and cook for one more minute. Once the beef releases its beautiful fat, add the onion, garlic, white parts of the green onions and stir fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion turns translucent and starts to go brown. When this beautiful fat meets our lovely aromatics, that's where the magic happens. So unless you're getting ready for a bodybuilding competition, please use ground beef with a little bit of fat. Now give the sauce a quick stir and pour it in. Make sure you scrape up all the good stuff from the bottom because that's where all the flavor is. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover it with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. That's it. Couldn't be any easier, right? It's basically a super simple ragu just made with Asian style sauce ingredients. So don't be afraid and give it a shot. It will totally be worth it. Alright, our meat sauce is ready. Now, you can just whisk some eggs and pour them over the top or simply crack them right in. But I know you guys and our taste tester want something a little fancier, so I'm gonna put in some extra effort and make it one serving at a time. Alright, get yourself a small non-stick pan, add about half a cup of the meat sauce, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. For information, this recipe makes about 4 servings, so half a cup is just right for one. Once it starts to bubble, Pour in two beaten eggs. What? You want even more protein? Then you can go up to three eggs. But more than that might throw off the balance of flavors. So I don't recommend it. Now sprinkle in our love, green onions, cover it with a lid and cook for about one to two minutes. Only the eggs are cooked to your liking. Nothing complicated, right? But this simple technique will turn a simple rice bowl into a restaurant quality one. What? You wanna know this kind of tip more and more?

Absolutely beautiful, right? You wanna know how it tastes? Alright, let's call our taste tester. Claire, I love beef. It's like a combination of what I love, so it can't be not delicious. Let's give it a try. I added green onions to make it look like a green onion guide, and it looks even better. Wow, the meat looks so delicious. Cheers. Wow, the smell. It's so good. One more time. First of all, it's really well-seasoned. There's a lot of beef in a really delicious bomb. It's really good. It's a little bit like eating a hamburger patty. I think that's what it feels like. But there's a moist egg on top. It's really good to have it with rice. I think it would be better to cook the egg slightly rounder than to cook it perfectly. I don't think I just boiled the beef, but I think I just seared it a little bit and then boiled it, so I think it smells a bit like fire. I can feel the garlic scent in the seasoning of the beef, so it feels like I'm eating bulgogi seasoning when I eat it. If you're a big fan of bulgogi, I think you're gonna love this dish. This food tastes like bulgogi and hamburger patties. Bulgogi Burger Rice Bowl We've introduced a lot of very simple recipes, but I think it's a visual that I think I can make really simple when I see strawberries. I think people who can't cook will be able to do this with courage. I think it would be nice to take it to school or to the office for lunch. I think it would be nice to just cook it like this and eat it in the microwave. Highly recommend for your lunch box. It's so delicious and good, but there will be people who will complain that there are not enough vegetables. I think it would be nice to eat it with kimchi, which is my solution to that person. That's my pro tip. Thank you. As soon as I eat it, I know instinctively that it would be perfect if it had kimchi in it. It has a spicy kick to it. Hope you guys try and enjoy!
