Notes
- Ground pork or ground turkey may be substituted for ground beef.
- Reduced-sodium soy sauce is recommended to better control sodium content; regular soy sauce can be used as preferred.
- Adjust gochujang sauce quantity to achieve desired heat; be sure to use sauce, not paste, to avoid excessive spiciness.
