Instructions
- Warm sesame oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Crumble ground beef into the pan, breaking into tiny fragments, and sauté until deep golden brown and caramelized.

Notes
- Swap ground beef with plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains the same delicious flavor profile and crispy texture.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free, ensuring those with wheat sensitivities can enjoy this meal.
- Toast sesame seeds before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and create an extra layer of aromatic depth in the rice bowl.
- Make the dish spicier by adding a drizzle of sriracha or red pepper flakes for those who love a bit of heat in their meal.
