Instructions

  1. Prepare rice according to package instructions, using broth instead of water to cook it.
  2. Prep the beef: Preheat a medium or large skillet to medium heat. Once preheated, add some oil and the ground beef. Break up and cook the beef until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. You can drain some of the grease if desired. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir together and cook another minute or so. Then incorporate the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and coconut sugar and stir together. Let it cook for a couple minutes to incorporate all the flavors.
  3. To serve: Place a spoonful of rice into a butter lettuce leaf along with ground beef, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced green onion, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Make as many as you want, and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
