![Step 1](step-1.jpg)
Thinly slice the @scallions{4%unit}(thinly sliced, keeping white and green parts separate). Peel @ginger{2%thumb} with a spoon and then mince or grate along with @garlic{4%clove}.

Heat @vegetable oil{2%tbsp}(divided) in a #pot{} over medium heat. Add half the scallion whites and half the ginger and cook for ~{30%seconds}, until fragrant. Add @pho stock concentrate{2%unit} and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for ~{10%minutes}.

Meanwhile, in a #bowl{}, combine @ground beef{16%oz} with garlic, @panko breadcrumbs{½%cup}, remaining ginger, remaining scallion whites, and a large pinch of @salt{} and @pepper{}.
