A few tips for making Ground Beef Teriyaki Bowls:
- Use a microplane to grate your fresh ginger. I always keep a chunk of it in my freezer, which makes it even easier to grate. In a pinch you can use ground ginger, but it will be much milder and less astringent than fresh ginger. Use only about 1/8 teaspoon or less.
- You can buy matchstick cut or shredded carrots in almost any grocery store. It definitely saves time to buy them precut/shredded.
- Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine. It’s sold in most grocery stores by on the aisle with Asian foods and/or with the vinegars and cooking wines.
- If you want to add a little kick, drizzle the top with Sriracha or for a little added sweetness drizzle with hoisin sauce.
Incredibly easy and super straightforward to make! You’re going to love meals like this that save you when it comes crunch time for dinner.
