Soboro is a Japanese cooking method that scrambles ingredients when cooking. It is traditionally done using a bundle of cooking chopsticks. If you do not have these chopsticks, you can also use a whisk. Enjoy it hot or at room temperature. |

1 Place ground beef in a frying pan and cook at medium heat. Using a whisk, break up the meat into smaller pieces. If your pan is not scratch resistant, use a silicone whisk. |

3 Beat eggs in a bowl. Add mirin, salt, sugar and mix well. |

4 Heat frying pan on low, add vegetable oil and egg mixture and stir with a whisk until mixture turns to fluffy scrambled eggs.
