Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey (I use 93%)
- 12 ounces trimmed fresh green beans (cut into 1.5" pieces)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or 1" fresh ginger minced)
- 1/2 cup julienned carrots
- 1 package (8.8 ounces) Ben's Original Ready Rice – Whole Grain Brown
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Sliced scallions (to taste)
- Toasted sesame seeds (to taste)
- Sriracha (optional)
- 3 tablespoons gochujang
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
Cooking
- Add the oil and ground turkey to a skillet and cook on medium-high heat until browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes).
- Add the green beans and cook for another 7-8 minutes.
- While the turkey and green beans cook, prepare the gochujang sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Once the green beans have cooked for about 7-8 minutes, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the onions soften.
- Stir in the julienned carrots, brown rice, and gochujang sauce. Mix well so everything is coated. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. The green beans should be tender-crisp. Cook longer if you prefer them softer.
- Taste the dish and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the dish garnished with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. For an extra kick, drizzle with sriracha!
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through. Adapt the spice level by using more or less gochujang based on your preference.
