Tips & Tricks

Use lean ground beef so the bowl stays flavorful without becoming greasy. For even more flavor, cook the beef until lightly browned before adding the peas and seasoning. You can swap white rice for jasmine rice or brown rice if preferred. For a smoother texture and richer finish, top the bowl with a slightly runny egg.
