Wash and dry produce. In a #small pot{}, combine @white rice{1.5%cup}, @water{1 1/4%cup} (2 1/2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of @salt{}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, ~{15-18%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Cut @broccoli{16%oz} into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice @scallions{4%unit}, separating whites from greens. Place broccoli in a #medium bowl{} (microwave-safe). Cover tightly with #plastic wrap{}; poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until just tender, ~{3-4%minutes}. (You'll finish the broccoli in Step 5.)

In a #large bowl{}, combine @sweet Thai chili sauce{2%oz}, @sweet soy glaze{8%tbsp}, and @ponzu sauce{12%ml}.

Heat a large drizzle of @cooking oil{} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, ~{1%minute}. Add @ground beef{20%oz}; season with @pepper{}. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, ~{3%minutes}. Continue to cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until beef is browned and cooked through, ~{1-3%minutes}. Carefully drain any excess grease from pan. Turn off heat; transfer beef to bowl with sauce. Tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for beef. Add broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, ~{2-3%minutes}. Transfer broccoli to bowl with beef and sauce; toss until thoroughly coated.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in @butter{} 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Divide rice between bowls; top with beef and broccoli. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve.

Ground meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
