Prep

Step 1. Bring White Rice and Water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover and simmer over low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, stir Soy Sauce, Brown Sugar, Rice Vinegar, and Sesame Oil together in a small bowl.

Cook

Step 3. Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned with no pink inside, about 7 minutes. Spoon off excess fat.
Step 4. Add Garlic and Ginger to the skillet. Stir over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir over medium heat until the beef is coated and the sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Fluff the rice and divide among bowls. Spoon the beef over it and add Cucumber, Scallions, and Sesame Seeds.
