Cantonese-Style Ground Beef Rice and Eggs

In a weird way, this recipe is like a Cantonese version of shakshuka. Ground beef rice and eggs is easy to prepare and is ready in 30 minutes. None of the ingredients are out of the ordinary. You can really use any type of ground meat or vegetables of your choosing. If you don’t have rice, the stewed ground beef is great over noodles.
