For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. Experiment with other vegetables like green beans or corn. Leftovers make excellent fillings for stuffed peppers or omelets. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with lentils or crumbled tofu.
