Beef soboro don
Soboro don is pure comfort food and a real crowd-pleaser in my house. Soboro in Japanese means to crumble; here it refers to a protein – fish, meat, eggs or tofu – that’s cooked down to a crumbly texture. I’ve chosen beef mince, but chicken mince is a great alternative. While the traditional don (or bento) would commonly be served with scrambled eggs, I like the simplicity of half a soft-boiled egg. This sweet and salty dish loves the company of blanched vegetables, such as sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve with a leafy green of your choice: mizuna is nice, or shiso for extra flavour.
