Ground beef and mushroom rice is a simple one-bowl meal that is easy to make and nutritious. This is a great dish for young children and a common comfort food for Chinese families. This was a favorite of mine growing up. This is primarily made with ground meat, shiitake mushrooms, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Variations of this is made with ingredients such as with tomato, other ground meats, scallions, and onions.
