Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Mince garlic. Peel and mince 2 tablespoons ginger. Thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate.
2. Add rice to boiling water. Cover and reduce to a low simmer until tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
3. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, scallion whites, half the garlic and half the ginger. Add ground beef and mix thoroughly with your hands until well coated.
4. Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer broccoli to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5. Heat another drizzle of vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, breaking it up into pieces, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
6. Fluff rice with a fork. Serve beef and broccoli over rice and sprinkle with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
