Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked beef and stir to combine.
