- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, low sodium soy sauce or tamari, ¼ cup water, brown sugar, and minced fresh ginger.
- Cook Beef: Break up the beef with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 8 minutes, making sure it cooks evenly and absorbs the flavors.

Notes
- Use lean ground beef (90/10) to reduce excess fat and ensure a balanced texture.
- Low sodium soy sauce helps control saltiness but adjust to taste if needed.
- You can substitute peas with other vegetables like edamame or carrots for variety.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Ginger can be adjusted based on personal preference for spiciness and aroma.
- Cooked rice is optional but recommended for an authentic donburi experience.
