- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp grated ginger

INSTRUCTIONS
- In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add the raw ground beef and pour the marinade over it. Stir well to combine and let it sit for 20 minutes.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook the green beans, stirring frequently, until they start to blister, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Remove the green beans from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the ground beef and cook until browned.
- Return the cooked green beans to the pan, stirring to combine with the beef.
- Continue cooking until the excess moisture has evaporated.
