Start cooking your rice!
Dice your onion and start caramelizing in your fry pan. I use Pam spray, cook on high...periodically add water and stir them up. They will start to brown. YUM!
Set aside your cooked onions.
Ground your beef in the same pan as you cooked your onions in. Add garlic powder and ginger. Cook until no pink.
Strain your ground beef then transfer to your large mixing bowl.
Add your caramelized onions to the ground beef, mix and set aside.
Start boiling your water for the broccolini.
Whisk your sauce ingredients until thick then turn down to a simmer.
Add your broccolini to your boiling water for only a quick minute then strain.
Your rice will be done at this point.
Assemble your bowls and garnish with green onions, red pepper, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if you want added heat!
ENJOY!
