In a rice pot, cook the brown rice according to package directions.
In a saute pan, heat the canola oil lightly. Add beef (chopped into small pieces), 1 tablespoon of grated ginger and the ground pepper. Saute until the meat is cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
Recoat pan with more oil if needed, then add the garlic and onion. Saute until slightly transparent. Add chopped broccoli, red pepper, zucchini and mushrooms. Saute, stirring frequently, 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are almost cooked but far from droopy. Add bok choy (or spinach), saute another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked meat back into the pan.
Toss in 1 tablespoon more of freshly grated ginger and some soy sauce. Place the lid on and reduce heat to simmer for 2 minutes.
Using a mortal and pestle, grind together the sesame seeds and sea salt. Add in the shredded nori. Lightly sprinkle each dish with this mixture.
Serve with brown rice and sheets of toasted nori.
To toast the nori, lightly lay each sheet, first on one side then flipping it over to the other, on a cast iron skillet over high heat. A riskier option is to lightly and quickly drag each sheet over a hot burner.
