Asparagus Beef Bowl

After work, I had no idea what I was going to cook for supper. I had fried rice leftover that I bought at Korean Pavilion and I added gochujang, stir evenly and ready to eat for lunch. As I was having my lunch, I remember one time I saw a asparagus beef bowl recipe at detikfood.com. Beef Bowl is usually served at Japanese restaurants in Indonesia,
since I added gochujang which is known as Korean red pepper paste, this dish is not a Japanese recipe anymore.

I went out to grocery store to buy asparagus and I was ready to make my asparagus beef bowl. As usual, I like to make a bit different from the original recipe.


Ingredients:
300 - 400 g warmed cooked rice (I used short grain rice/sushi rice)

Topping:
1 tbsp olive oil minyak sayur
1/2 - 1 tsp sesame oil minyak sayur
2 cloves garlic, minced
50 g onion, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
200 g veggie ground round (it can be substituted for ground beef)
200 g asparagus, thinly angle cut
2 tbsp hot sauce (I substituted for gochujang)
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, detikfood's recipe didn't add this)
1 - 1 1/2 tbsp Indonesian sweet soy sauce
4 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper


Directions:
Topping:

Heat olive oil in a skillet at medium-high heat, stir fry garlic, onion and green onion until wilted. in ollive oil.

Add asparagus, veggie ground round, add other seasonings, stir evenly until asparagus and veggie ground round are cooked. If you use ground beef , you have to cook until the beef is cooked, then you can add other seasonings and asparagus. Remove from heat.

Serving

Combine warmed cooked rice with sesame oil. Place rice in a bowl and add asparagus beef mixture over the rice.
