Ingredients

• 4 ounce ground beef (lean)
• 1 package brown rice pouch (pre-cooked)
• 1.5 cup broccoli florets (fresh)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (reduced-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.25 cup kimchi (mild, chopped)

Instructions

1. Place fresh broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
2. Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking into crumbles, until browned and cooked through to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Stir soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar into the skillet with the cooked beef and simmer for 1 minute until glazed.
4. Heat the pre-cooked brown rice pouch in the microwave according to package directions (about 90 seconds).
5. Layer the warm brown rice in a bowl, top with the glazed ground beef, steamed broccoli florets, and mild kimchi, then serve immediately.

Notes

Using pre-cooked rice pouches cuts prep time in half while providing whole grain nutrition.
