Instructions
Mix the Sauce
- Add all ingredients into a small bowl and mix with whisk or fork until evenly distributed. If you'd like a more watery sauce, add water until you reach your desired consistency.
Cook the Toppings (if using)
- Heat garlic oil in a large wok or frying pan on medium high & sauté carrots for 3-4 minutes. Set on plate and toss with a light amount of salt.
- Adding more garlic oil to the pan if needed, sauté the zucchini for 1-2 minutes and set aside.
- Sauté baby spinach until wilted. Place in small bowl and toss with a dash of gluten free tamari and sesame oil.
- Adding more garlic oil to the pan if needed, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Sunny-side up is my preference. :)
Cook the Ground Beef
- Heat garlic oil in wok or frying pan on high. Add ground beef and let one side cook and brown for 2-3 minutes. Once one side is browned, add the gluten free tamari, maple syrup, gochugaru, ginger and ground black pepper to taste, breaking up the ground beef to distribute the ingredients. Stir fry until the ground beef is almost cooked through.
- In the last couple of minutes, add the chopped green onion. Turn off the heat and mix in sesame oil. Top with sesame seeds if using.
Assemble!
- Split ingredients between four servings over rice. Top with a drizzle of sauce, additional sesame seeds and slivers of roasted seaweed if using.
Notes
- Gochugaru has not technically been tested for FODMAPs so we cannot know for certain how much fructose, polyls or oligos it contains. However, the 2 tablespoons called for in the sauce can be split across roughly 6-8 servings, so you are eating a small amount. Definitely eat to your personal tolerance!
- If you are using a store-bought oil, be sure that it is actually Low FODMAP, as not all commercially produced garlic oils are safe!
