Main Ingredients
- 1 pound 90/10 ground beef
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 cup frozen peas
- cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, ¼ cup water, brown sugar, and minced fresh ginger. Cook the mixture, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon.
- Brown the beef: Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld well together.

- Serve: Spoon the gingery ground beef over cooked rice if desired, and enjoy your soboro donburi.
Notes

- Substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Frozen peas can be replaced with fresh peas or shelled edamame for variety.
- Serve with steamed rice or over cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
