Asian Ground Beef

Whenever my husband is craving something "Asian" and I am not in the mood to cook a lot, he tends to cook rice and season some ground beef and he's happy with his meal.
Well I wanted to give it a whirl and come up with some "Asian Ground Beef" that could my own standby when I was craving something with some flavor to it, without a bunch of hassle.
This is what I came up with. I'm pretty pleased with it. It comes together quickly and the leftovers store well, since it is just ground beef. It reminds me a lot of beef bulgogi.
