Notes
- Add Sriracha or Gochujang paste to the sauce for extra spice.
- If you don't have fresh ginger, you can replace it with 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
- You can use thinly sliced sirloin steak instead of ground beef. Just marinate the beef in the sauce overnight before cooking to ensure tenderness.
