Method

Prepare the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the short-grain rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed rice in a rice cooker, add 2.5 cups of water, and cook according to the rice cooker instructions.

Cook the Beef and Vegetables

    Sauté the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of ground beef (or tofu). Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Add Vegetables

    To the skillet with cooked beef, add minced garlic, carrot, and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
