A mound of fluffy white grains sets the scene for each rice bowl. Top it off with gingery nuggets of browned ground beef, leafy stems of yu choy and nibbles of edamame.

Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the yu choy stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems. Juice the lime.
Start the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the ginger (start with ½) and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the beef; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
Cook the vegetables & finish the beef
To the pan of beef, add the yu choy, kimchi, edamame and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften and the beef* is cooked through. Add the soy sauce and lime juice. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the vegetables and beef. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
