Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 150g ground pork
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • seasoned salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oligosaccharide syrup
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • mayonnaise to taste
  • dried seaweed flakes to taste
  • scallion to taste
  • 1 bowl of rice

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat oil in a pan, crack 2 eggs into the pan before it gets too hot, and quickly stir to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add ground pork, soy sauce, oligosaccharide syrup, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Stir-fry until cooked through.
  3. Continue stirring over high heat until all moisture evaporates and the pork becomes dry and crumbly. Set aside.
  4. Finely dice the cucumber, sprinkle with seasoned salt, mix well, and let it sit for about 15 minutes to release water.
  5. Squeeze the salted cucumber firmly with your hands to remove all excess water, leaving only the crunchy texture.
  6. Place rice in a bowl and arrange the pork soboro, egg soboro, and pickled cucumber side by side in three sections.
  7. Finish by zigzagging mayonnaise on top, sprinkle with seaweed flakes and chopped scallion. Mix and eat.
  1. Quickly scramble the eggs in a pan until fully cooked and fluffy.
  2. Stir-fry ground pork with soy sauce, oligosaccharide syrup, and garlic until dry and crumbly.
  3. Finely chop cucumber, salt it, squeeze out water, then arrange over rice with the other two toppings and mayonnaise.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Be sure to squeeze the salted cucumber thoroughly to remove all moisture; this keeps the fresh cucumber flavor intact and gives a crunchy, not soggy, texture.
  • The key to the pork soboro is to stir-fry over high heat, stirring constantly, until all liquid evaporates so it's not wet.
  • Since this donburi has no sauce, be sure to add mayonnaise to bring overall softness and a glossy finish.
