Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Reduce heat, stir in honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 2‑3 minutes until glaze thickens.

Notes
- For extra heat
- add red pepper flakes or sriracha. Substitute cauliflower rice for a low‑carb option. Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a tangier finish.
