Instructions
For Green Bean Goma-ae
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and then add the whole green beans. Return to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until they are your desired texture. Drain the beans and plunge into ice water to set the color.
- Drain and dry the green beans with paper towels and then trim the stem end off and chop the green beans into small pieces.
- Grind the toasted sesame seeds, sugar, and salt together with a mortar and pestle, or clean spice grinder and toss the green beans with the resulting mixture.
For Carrot Salad
- Put the shredded carrot and onion into a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix to combine and let this sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the excess water to come out of the vegetables.
- When the carrots are limp, use your hands to squeeze out as much water from them as you can.
- Dress the salad with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and parsley.
For Chicken Soboro
- In a non-stick frying pan, mix the chicken, sake, soy sauce, sugar and ginger juice, breaking up any clumps of ground chicken as you go.
- Put the pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken, using a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks into small crumbles.
- The Chicken Soboro is done when there is no liquid remaining in the pan, and the chicken is well cooked.
For Egg Soboro
- Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt until the yolks and white are thoroughly combined.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat until moderately, but not scorching hot.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, and scramble vigorously with chopsticks, or a whisk, breaking the egg up into small curds.
- The Egg Soboro is done when it is crumbly and no longer wet.
Assemble Soboro Bento
- Split the size between your two bento boxes and spread the rice in a thin layer, leaving a little space at the edge.
- Pack the carrot salad and tomatoes in the gap you left in the rice.
- Cover the rice with the chicken, egg, and green beans in whatever pattern you like.
