In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Done when tender and water absorbed.
While the rice cooks, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5 minutes until browned. Done when browned and mostly cooked, 160°F.
Add the diced red bell pepper and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes until the pepper is tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, fish sauce, and honey. Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the beef. Stir in the torn basil until just wilted and remove from the heat. Done when beef is fully cooked through, 160°F.
