Assembling the Bowls
- Divide the rice, cooked beef, and boy choy between four bowls.
- Top with the soy-tahini sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes

- Use any favorite cut of beef or ground beef.
- Use low sodium soy sauce or Tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten free version.
- Use any favorite vegetable like snow peas, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, asparagus.
- Use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. Or use cauliflower rice for lower carbs.
- For quick prep, use garlic paste or ginger paste found in the produce section of grocery store.
- Leave out the sriracha for less spice or add more for a spicier version.
