Start by cooking rice in a rice cooker or pot on the stove.

Add 2 lbs of ground beef to the heated pan and break it up.

Brown the beef for about 6 to 8 minutes until almost cooked through.

Add fresh garlic to the beef.

Grate in about 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger.

Stir the beef mixture to combine the garlic and ginger.

Add 1/2 cup of soy sauce to the beef mixture.

Add brown sugar to taste, at least a few tablespoons.

Grate carrots and add them to the beef mixture.

Cook until the sauce thickens slightly and the carrots soften.

Remove the beef mixture from heat once the carrots have softened and the sauce has thickened.

Serve the cooked rice in a bowl and top with the beef and veggie mixture.

Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds if desired.
