2 teaspoons sugar
1 and 1/6 tablespoons soy sauce

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthier fats while margarine is more budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while cooked chicken is often more affordable.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water can be used to reduce richness.

1

Dice the vegetables A (potato, onion, carrot) into small cubes (soak potato in water).

2

In a pot, add the ground meat and sauté over low heat until it changes color slightly.

3

Add the diced vegetables from step 1 to the pot, and when they become slightly translucent, add sugar, sake, soy sauce, and water in that order. Cover and simmer on very low heat for about 10 minutes.

4

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and whisk well.

5

Heat oil in a frying pan, pour in half of the egg mixture and spread it out into a circle. When it starts to bubble slightly, add the filling from step 3 with a ladle, fold the egg over from the sides, and flip it onto a plate.
