Default Soboro (Sweet Meat)

This is another traditional Japanese recipe usually served in bento boxes. Very easy to make. I don't have pics, like in my curry thread, but I don't think anyone will need them.

Sweet meat (Soboro)

You can use ground beef, pork or chicken (I've only used ground beef)

1 lb ground meat
3 Table spoons Soy Sauce
1/4 Teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons Sugar
4 Tablespoons Mirin (sweet cooking sake)
1/2 Teaspoon fresh grated ginger (fine)

Brown meat and chop up so it isnt too lumpy. Should be about the consistency of taco meat. Drain meat and discard fat. Return meat to pan. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes. Majority of the juice should be cooked into the meat. Serve over sticky rice. (Instructions for sticky rice in this thread.)



One quick tip on using fresh ginger... By far the easiest way to use it is to peel the ginger root completely and store it in a heavy duty freezer bag (with the air all pushed out of it) in the freezer. Anytime you need fresh ginger, grab it out, grate the amount you need (grate it finely...a microplane hand grater or zester works perfectly) and then toss the unused portion back in the freezer. Frozen ginger is much easier to grate. When adding it to your recipe, don't forget to add the juice it creates, too.

Do you use Dark Soy Sauce?

I get bbq'ed pork from a place here and they never give you enough sauce on take out.
I replicated the sauce at home and it's the same as you posted but with no ginger.
I can't stand the taste of ginger so i don't use it.

It's also a great sauce to use as a marinade if you add a little sesame oil.

Now I'm hungry for bbq'ed pork.

We had this for dinner on Saturday. We used some pork shoulder that we had slow cooked without any seasoning. I had to use Sherry because the little grocery store nearby did not have sake. It was maybe a little overly sweet probably because of that. I will get some sake the next time we go to a bigger grocery store in the city. We really enjoyed it and will try it again. I'd like to try it with chicken. Thanks for the recipe.
