  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

  10. Serve immediately, perhaps over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef.
  • Adjust soy sauce to your taste, especially if using low-sodium soy sauce.

  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving.
