Begin by cooking the brown rice. Rinse 200 grams of brown rice under cold water. Add to a pot with 400 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Allow the rice to rest for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the shrimp. If using raw shrimp, peel and devein them. Season the shrimp with salt, ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables. Julienne 1 medium cucumber and 1 large carrot. Cut the medium avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice thinly. Thinly slice 2 green onion stalks.
