Wash and dry all produce. Peel and mince or grate @ginger{1%thumb}. Halve, core, and thinly slice @bell pepper{1%unit} into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{1%unit}. Cut @broccoli{8%oz} into bite-size pieces, if necessary. Zest and quarter @lime{1%unit}. Mince @cilantro{¼%oz}. (For 4 servings, zest 1 lime and quarter both.)

Heat a drizzle of oil in a #small pot{} over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, ~{1%minute}. Stir in @jasmine rice{½%cup}, ¾ cup water, and a pinch of salt.

While rice cooks, add @peanuts{½%oz}, 1 tsp sugar, and 2 TBSP water to a #large pan{} (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat.

(For 4 servings, use 2 tsp sugar and 3 TBSP water.)

Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with @salt{} and @black pepper{}. Cook, stirring, until slightly tender, 3-4 minutes.

To pan with veggies, add @sweet soy glaze{4%tbsp}, @sweet Thai chili sauce{1%oz}, ¼ cup water, and lime juice to taste. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened and veggies are coated, 2-3 minutes. Stir in half the cilantro. Turn off heat. (For 4 servings, use ⅓ cup water.)
