Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound 90/10 ground beef
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, low sodium soy sauce or tamari, ¼ cup water, brown sugar, and minced fresh ginger. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
- Cook the beef: Break up the beef with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.

- Serve: Remove from heat and serve over cooked rice if desired. Enjoy your Gingery Ground Beef Soboro Donburi warm.
Notes
- Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Fresh ginger adds a vibrant flavor, but ground ginger can be used in a pinch; use about 1 teaspoon if substituting.
- The 90/10 ground beef balances flavor and fat content; leaner beef can be used for a healthier option.
- Add cooked or steamed vegetables such as carrots or mushrooms for extra nutrition and texture.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce or tamari used is certified gluten-free.
- Serve with steamed white rice or brown rice for a hearty meal.
