Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to coat the beef with the seasonings.
Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef and seasoning mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, making sure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
If using frozen mixed vegetables, add them to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
