Ingredients

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef

  • 1/3 cup sake

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup dashi or water

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup frozen English peas, thawed

  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

  • 5 cups hot cooked rice

  • 2 tablespoons beni shoga (Japanese pickled ginger) or 1 large tomato, sliced

Direction

  1. Stir together ground beef, sake, soy sauce, dashi, and sugar in a small Dutch oven or medium-size, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-high, stirring often to break up large lumps of beef, 5 minutes. Stir in peas and ginger; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is mostly evaporated and beef is no longer pink but is still moist, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. Divide rice evenly among 4 large bowls. Spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture over each. Garnish with pickled ginger.
