Soboro Don (Ground Chicken Bowl)
Soboro Don is a layered bowl featuring seasoned ground chicken, soft scrambled eggs, green peas, and jasmine rice. The ground chicken is cooked with soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sugar to develop a sweet-savory glaze. Eggs are gently scrambled with sugar and butter to a fluffy texture. The ingredients are arranged in distinct layers over fragrant jasmine rice for a balanced meal.

Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1½ tbsp sugar
For the Eggs
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 4-5 egg
- 1 tbsp sugar
For the Assembly
- 1 cup green peas cooked
- 4 cups jasmine rice cooked
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and then add the ground chicken. Brown the chicken and using a wooden spoon, break the chicken into small pieces.
- Half way, add the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sugar and continue to cook, until the liquid has all been absorbed.
- Meanwhile, in another skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat and add whisked eggs and sugar to the pan. Gently and slowly stir with a spatula to make soft and fluffy scrambled eggs. You can also use the same pan as the ground chicken if you don’t want to dirty a second pan, just set it aside, wipe it down, and cook the eggs.
- To serve, add rice to the bottom of a meal prep container or bowl. Then, add the ground chicken to a third of the bowl, then the cooked peas, and finally the eggs to make 3 distinctive layers over the rice.
