Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 11.3 oz cooked Japanese white rice
For the spinach:
- 3.5 oz spinach
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp soy sauce
For the chicken soboro:
- 0.13 oz ginger
- 5.3 oz ground chicken thigh
- 1 ½ Tbsp sake
- 1 ½ Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
For the egg soboro:
- 2 large eggs (about 2.1 oz/60 g each, including shell)
- ½ Tbsp sake
- 1 tsp sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Steps for cooking spinach:
- Fill a large pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil.
- When the water boils, add salt (approximately 1% of the water's volume, not included in the recipe). Then, place spinach in the pot, starting from the root ends. Cook only the stems for a minute, and submerge the leaves for an additional 30 seconds.
- Remove the spinach from the pot and cool it under running water. Then, squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Trim the spinach roots and cut the remaining portions into 1.6-inch (4cm) pieces. Place the spinach pieces in a bowl and toss them with sugar and soy sauce.
Steps to make chicken soboro:
- Peel and grate ginger. Mix the grated ginger, ground chicken, and sake in a pot.
- Heat the pot over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Once the ground chicken is no longer pink, add sugar and soy sauce. Simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Steps to make egg soboro:
- Crack eggs into a bowl and beat them together with sake, sugar, and salt.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour the beaten egg mixture into it. After it has partially set, stir quickly with chopsticks until fully cooked.
Step to serve:
- Serve rice in each bowl and arrange the spinach, chicken soboro, and egg soboro on top in an attractive and colorful manner.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
