Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef

For the Sauce

¼ cup Water + 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons Chili Garlic Sauce
2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Honey
1 cube Frozen Crushed Ginger or 1" piece fresh
1 Tablespoon Black Vinegar sub balsamic or rice vinegar

For the Rice

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 bag (12oz) Frozen Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry*
1 bag (10oz) Frozen Brown or Jasmine Rice
1 Tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce**
3-4 Scallions thinly sliced

Instructions

Mix the water and corn starch together before adding the remaining beef sauce ingredients.
Add the beef to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Brown both sides for 2-3 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking. You want as many crunchy browned bits as possible.
Add the sauce to the cooked ground beef and stir everything together. The sauce should begin to caramelize and stick to the beef in 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet, followed by the frozen cauliflower rice. Create an even layer in the pan and let the rice cook for 6-8 minutes. Once the rice begins to brown and is fully cooked, add the soy sauce and stir before turning off the heat and adding the beef and sliced scallions to the skillet.

Notes

I use Tattooed Chef or Trader Joe's. Any cauliflower rice and veggie medley works. If unseasoned, add a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and maybe a bit more soy sauce. You can also use frozen jasmine or brown rice (or 1/2 and 1/2).

**I love using Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce here if you have it.

With two bags of frozen cauliflower rice instead of half brown rice, each serving has 330 calories, 26g protein, 24g carbs, and 16g fat.
