Ground Beef Bulgogi

Using regular soy sauce makes the dish too salty. If that is all you have on hand, use 3 Tbsp of soy and fill the rest with water to equal a 1/2 cup of liquid. For a gluten-free Korean beef bowl, use reduced-sodium tamari sauce, or La Choy Lite Soy Sauce.

To lighten the dish, use ground turkey or ground chicken.

Sesame Oil serves the purpose of adding flavor, so substituting another oil will not have the same effect.

Red Pepper Flakes add a bit of spiciness to balance the sweet. If you are sensitive to spice, use 1/8 tsp.
