Soboro Don

Ingredients:

For the Seasoned Ground Chicken

• ½ lb ground chicken (if you can't get ground chicken, you can mince thigh meat (or mix with chicken breast) with a knife or food processor)
• 1 knob ginger (1 inch, 2.5 cm)
• 1 Tbsp sake
• 1 Tbsp mirin
• 1½ Tbsp sugar (chicken soboro is a sweet dish, but you can reduce the sugar by one-third if you prefer a less sweet taste)
• 2½ Tbsp soy sauce

For the Scrambled Eggs

• 3 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell)
• 1 Tbsp sugar (typically, eggs for this dish are sweetened even more; you can skip the sugar if you prefer not to sweeten at all)
• ¼ tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)

For Serving

• 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice
• 2 Tbsp green peas (cooked)
• pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga) (optional)
