Steps

1. 1

   Cook the rice according to the package directions, using the listed water or broth and adjusting the portion size as needed. If using quinoa instead, cook it according to its package directions.

2. 2

   While the rice cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil.

3. 3

   Add the ground beef to the hot skillet. Break it into small pieces as it browns, and continue cooking until it is almost fully cooked.

4. 4

   Add the diced red pepper, diced yellow onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables have softened.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili crisp, ginger powder, and beef broth for the beef mixture.

6. 6

   Add the sauce mixture to the beef and vegetables, and stir to combine.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat and allow the sauce to cook down slightly. Season with salt if needed.

8. 8

   For the coconut broth, add the coconut milk, soy sauce, chili crisp, and ginger powder to a saucepan.

9. 9

   Bring the coconut broth to a boil and stir until all of the ingredients are combined.

10. 10

    Assemble the bowls by adding the cooked rice first, then topping it with the chili crisp beef, coconut broth, and diced cucumber. Add optional chili crisp as a garnish.

Notes

The source does not specify exact cooking times for the rice, beef, vegetable sauté, sauce reduction, or broth. Follow the package directions for the rice or quinoa and cook the beef until fully cooked. The cucumber amount is unspecified.
