Prep 20 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, the first part of the water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, red pepper flakes, and the second part of the water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and the rest of the salt. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 160°F.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Cover immediately and steam for 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and stir-fry for 2 minutes more until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Whisk the sauce mixture once more to incorporate the starch, then pour it into the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute, tossing constantly, until the sauce becomes glossy and thick enough to coat the beef and broccoli.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Scoop the steamed rice onto a plate and top with the beef and broccoli mixture.
