# Ingredients Needed:

1 lb lean ground beef, at room temperature

02 -
3 tablespoons soy sauce
03 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Toppings

2 scallions, finely sliced

2 cups cooked white rice, hot
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until sugar fully dissolves.
02 -
Boil eggs in simmering water for exactly 6 minutes, then transfer immediately to an ice bath to halt cooking and maintain runny yolks; peel carefully once cooled.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces until evenly browned and cooked through.
04 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
05 -
Divide hot rice between serving bowls, top evenly with sauced beef, scatter sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, then place soft-boiled eggs halved on the side.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Using slightly older eggs helps with easier peeling. Serve meat and rice separately when storing leftovers to keep texture.
02 -
The sauce can be made up to one week ahead and refrigerated.
