1 lb lean ground beef
2 carrots, cut in matchsticks
2 zucchini, cut into matchsticks
4 oz portabella or shiitake mushrooms
1 c bean sprouts
1 c kimchi - mild or hot, your choice
2 c fresh spinach
1 tsp garlic, minced (more to taste)
4 eggs
2 c white rice
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 Tbsp sesame oil, divided
1/4 c soy sauce or tamari
siracha or chili garlic sauce, to taste

Steps:

1. Cook rice according to directions on package.
2. Saute mushrooms in pan with 1 tsp sesame oil for 1-2 min on high heat. Sprinkle with soy sauce near the end of cook time. Set aside.
3. Continue cooking all veggies this way individually in the same pan, setting aside each time. Veggies should be crisp-tender. When you add the spinach, add minced garlic at the same time. The spinach will wilt, not be crisp, btw!
4. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over med-high heat, then cook ground meat for 7-8 min until fully cooked and remove from pan.
5. Heat the same pan on high and add egg. (You may have to give a quick spray of cooking spray or a splash of olive oil.) Cook for a few seconds, then remove from heat and let the egg continue to cook in hot pan off heat until yolks appear runny but whites are mostly cooked.
6. Add 1/4 cup rice to each bowl. Place veggies and beef in circle around bowl. Top with egg, then sprinkle bowl with sesame seeds and serve.
