Notes

Serve the Spicy Ground Beef Stir-Fry Bowl warm. You can enjoy it as a standalone meal or pair it with extra side dishes like pickled vegetables or a simple salad. For added crunch, you could toss in some chopped nuts like peanuts or cashews. Feel free to substitute the ground beef with your choice of protein like chicken or tofu.
