Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chicken Soboro Don?
Chicken Soboro Don is a Japanese rice bowl topped with seasoned ground chicken, sweet scrambled egg and green peas. The chicken is seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. It is a popular quick meal and a common bento component.
Can I use chicken breast?
Yes, ground chicken breast works, but ground thigh is preferred: its higher fat content keeps the soboro moist.
How long does it stay fresh?
It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
Can I make it vegetarian?
This recipe is made with ground chicken and dashi, so it is not vegetarian as written.
What is the secret to soft eggs?
Cook on low heat in a separate pan and stir constantly, so that the egg sets in very small, delicate clumps rather than large chunks.
