How to make it
1
Mix the chicken soboro ingredients in a pot
- In a small pot (or frying pan), put 200 g ground chicken, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp mirin and 1/2 tsp ginger
- Before turning on the heat, hold 4 cooking chopsticks together and mix well, breaking up the meat
How to tell it's doneNo lumps of meat are left, and it is all mixed with the seasonings.
Be carefulIf you add the meat after turning on the heat, it sets into big lumps. Mixing first is important.
2
Stir while cooking until dry
- Put over medium heat and keep stirring the whole time with the 4 chopsticks
- When the liquid is almost gone, turn to medium-low heat so it does not burn
How to tell it's doneAll the meat is brown, with no pink. When you tilt the pot, almost no liquid collects at the bottom. Move it to a dish.
3
Beat the eggs
- Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Take out any shell that falls in
- Add 2 tsp sugar and a pinch of salt
- Mix with cooking chopsticks, cutting through the whites, until you cannot tell the yolk from the white
How to tell it's doneYou cannot see any lumps of egg white.
4
Make scrambled egg
- Put 1 tsp vegetable oil in a frying pan and heat over medium-low heat
- Add all the egg from step 3 and keep stirring without stopping with 4 cooking chopsticks
- When it starts to set, stir by scraping the bottom of the pan to make small bits
How to tell it's doneNo runny liquid is left anywhere. It is all small yellow crumbs. Move it to a dish right away.
Be carefulIf the heat is too high, the egg burns brown. If it looks like it will brown, take the pan off the heat for a moment and stir.
5
Put on rice
- Put 1 bowl of rice (about 200 g) in each bowl
- With a spoon, put chicken soboro on half of the rice and scrambled egg on the other half
- Split the chicken soboro and the egg in half between the 2 bowls
ReadyHalf brown and half yellow, covering the rice so you can hardly see it.
