‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. Today I cooked Beef Mince into Soboro, and seasoned it with ‘Yakiniku’ (Japanese BBQ) Sauce. If you already have a bottle of Yakiniku Sauce, this rice bowl is super easy to cook, but I included a very simple Yakiniku Sauce recipe.

Makes

1 Serving

Ingredients

125g Beef Mince
Oil for cooking
1 to 2 tablespoons ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce *OR use the Sauce below
1 Egg
Salt & White Pepper
1/4 cup Edamame Beans
*Note: Edamame can be substituted with sautéed green vegetable such as Bok Choy.
1 serving warm Cooked Rice

‘Yakiniku’ Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Mirin
1/4 teaspoon grated Ginger
1/4 teaspoon grated Garlic
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
Chilli Flakes as required *optional

Method
  1. Combine all the ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. *Note: You can use your favourite store-bought ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce.
  2. Prepare Edamame. Thaw them completely if frozen, then add a small pinch Salt, mix well, and set aside. *Note: You can use Soy Sauce to season.
  3. Whisk Egg in a small bowl, lightly season with Salt and White Pepper, and cook in a lightly oiled small frying pan into small pieces.
  4. Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice and arrange the Egg and Edamame on the Rice. Using the same frying pan, cook Beef Mince. When the Beef changed colour, add Yakiniku Sauce, and cook until the sauce is thickened. Arrange the Beef on top, and enjoy.
