Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. In a small saucepan, combine the rice, the first portion of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, still covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and set aside. Done when tender-crisp.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with half the salt and half the pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil. Season the shrimp with the remaining salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then flip. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until the shrimp are pink and the garlic is fragrant. Done when pink and opaque, 145°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and the second portion of water. Return the chicken and steamed broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and glazes the meat and vegetables.
Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork and place it on the plate. Spoon the garlic chicken, shrimp, and broccoli stir-fry and its sauce over the top.
