Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (lean 90/10)
• 1 cup jasmine rice (dry)
• 2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
• 3 tablespoon gluten-free tamari
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 head baby bok choy (halved lengthwise)
• 2 green onions (medium, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a small pot, combine the jasmine rice, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover with a tight lid, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes until tender.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free tamari, brown sugar, minced fresh ginger, and 2 cloves of the minced garlic.
3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until fully browned and reaching an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. Pour the tamari sauce mixture over the cooked ground beef and simmer for 2 minutes until glossy and well coated, then remove the beef to a plate.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, the remaining 1 clove of minced garlic, the baby bok choy, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the greens are tender-crisp.
6. Fluff the jasmine rice and portion into bowls. Top with the savory beef and sautéed bok choy, finishing with sliced green onions.

Notes

Tamari is naturally gluten-free; double-check the bottle label to ensure it is certified gluten-free.
