Equipment
- 12" skillet
- small mixing bowl
Ingredients
Skillet 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 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste or 1" fresh ginger minced
- 1/2 cup julienned carrots
- 1 (8.8 ounce) Ben's Original Ready Rice - Whole Grain Brown
- salt & pepper to taste
- sliced scallions to taste
- toasted sesame seeds to taste
- sriracha optional
Gochujang Sauce ingredients
- 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
- Add the oil and ground turkey to skillet and cook on med-high until cooked through (about 7-8 minutes), then add green beans and cook for another 7-8 minutes.
- While the green beans and turkey cook, make the Gochujang Sauce. To a small mixing bowl, add the gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and water. Stir until combined, then set it aside.
- Once the green beans have cooked for about 7-8 minutes, add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook for 5-6 minutes. The onions should be softened. Add the carrot, rice, and Gochujang Sauce. Stir to combine. Cook until heated through (about 5 minutes). Green beans should be tender-crisp. Continue cooking if you want them softer. Taste for needed salt & pepper and add it to taste.
- Garnish the skillet with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Excellent served with sriracha! Enjoy!
