  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/4" slices on an angle. If carrot is larger than 1" in diameter, halve before slicing.

    Remove any discolored outer leaves from bok choy and trim ends. Cut stems into 1/4" slices and coarsely chop leaves. Keep stems and leaves separate.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 4 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground beef, white portions of green onions, and 3/4 tsp. salt. Form mixture into 16 evenly-sized meatballs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add meatballs to hot pan and roll occasionally until browned all over and meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-14 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While meatballs cook, in another mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, Korean BBQ sauce (to taste), and half the sesame seeds (reserve remaining for garnish). Transfer meatballs to mixing bowl with sauces and stir gently until coated. Cover to keep warm and set aside. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Return pan used to cook meatballs to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add carrots, bok choy stems, and garlic to hot pan and stir occasionally, 1-2 minutes.

    Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is evaporated and vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Rice and Finish Dish

    Uncover and add rice, bok choy leaves, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 tsp. salt to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until rice is warmed through, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
