Prepare the rice according to package directions (if using instant or minute rice), or cook the rice in a pot or rice cooker (using 1 1/3 cups rice and 2 1/2 cups water)
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Add the ground beef to the hot skillet and brown until almost cooked through (about 6-10 minutes).
Add the garlic, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and sriracha to the skillet and stir well until a small amount of sauce forms.
Add the carrots and cook for about 2 more minutes until the carrots soften slightly.
Serve the beef mixture over rice and garnish with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a small sprinkling of red pepper flakes (garnishes optional).
