  • Chikuwa (Fish Cake) 1 piece
  • Eggs 3
  • Potato Starch 1 tsp (for scrambled eggs)
  • Water 1 tsp (for scrambled eggs)
  • Cooked Rice 3 'go' (approx. 3 cups)

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Miso Paste 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [B] Salt 1/4 tsp

  • [C] Salt 1/4 tsp
  • [C] Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds (to taste)

Steps

  1. Place cooked rice in a freezer-safe container.
  2. Divide into portions of about 180-200g per serving, according to your preference.
  3. Place the lid on at an angle and let cool until it reaches room temperature.
  4. Slice 1 green onion (150g) diagonally into large rounds.
  5. Cut 1 chikuwa (fish cake) in half lengthwise, then slice into about 3mm thick pieces.
  6. Peel and dice 150g of daikon radish into 5mm cubes.
  7. Peel and finely chop 10g of ginger (1 piece).
  8. In a bowl, combine 1 tsp potato starch, 1 tsp water, 1 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp mayonnaise. Mix until dissolved.
  9. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 3 eggs, then mix with the dissolved seasoning mixture.
  10. Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir constantly with chopsticks to scramble. [Key Tip!] Cook until all the moisture has evaporated and the eggs are fluffy and separated.
  11. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and let cool.
  12. Heat some oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add green onions and chikuwa and stir-fry until the moisture has evaporated.
  13. Remove from heat, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp sesame oil, and mix well.
  14. Transfer the stir-fried green onion and chikuwa to a separate bowl and let cool.
  15. Wipe the frying pan clean.
  16. Heat some oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add daikon radish and ginger and stir-fry until the daikon becomes translucent. [Key Tip!] Dicing the daikon finely and stir-frying it allows it to cook quickly. Stir-frying it before adding seasonings and ground meat helps it absorb flavor thoroughly.
  17. Remove from heat and push the daikon radish and ginger to the side of the frying pan.
  18. In the cleared space, add 2 tbsp cooking sake (rice wine), 2 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp miso paste, and 1 tbsp sugar. Stir until dissolved.
  19. Add 150g ground pork and beef mix and 1 tsp potato starch. Mix the ground meat with the seasonings.
  20. Heat over medium-high heat, breaking up the ground meat with chopsticks. Once the color changes, stir-fry with the daikon radish. [Key Tip!] Stir-frying over high heat to evaporate moisture and adding minced ginger prevents any unpleasant smell from the daikon when frozen.
  21. Let the daikon soboro mixture cool.
  22. In the rice container, place the scrambled eggs and stir-fried green onion and chikuwa in the back half.
  23. In the front half, add the daikon soboro and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  24. Cover and freeze. Consume within 3 weeks.
  25. To eat, place the lid on at an angle or cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for about 5 minutes. [Key Tip!] Adding a binder to the eggs and potato starch to the soboro ensures they remain moist and delicious even after reheating.
