Instructions
- Make the sauce for the taco meat by whisking together the ketchup, sake, soy sauce, and salt.

- Add the ground meat and crumble it using the side of a spatula.
- When the meat is halfway cooked, sprinkle on the chili powder and continue breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- When the meat is almost done, pour the sauce over the meat and continue cooking until the mixture is saucy but no longer watery.
