Instructions

 

Let's cook Hambagu

• Dice the onion finely.
• In a small bowl, add diced onion and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.
• Dice the carrot and finely mince the spinach.
• Open the tofu pack and discard the water. Pat the tofu with a paper towel to get rid of excess water.*1
• In a medium bowl, add tofu, onion, spinach, carrot, panko, egg, miso, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper and mix well.
• Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 portions.
• Shape the Patties 0.8 inch (2cm) thick .
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and place the patties in the pan. Cook until one side gets brown (about 5 minutes).
• Turn the patties over and cook the other side until it is brown.
• Move the Hambagu to a plate. We will use the pan to make our sauce.

Let's cook sauce

• Cut the mushrooms into thin slices.
• In the pan, add cut mushrooms, dashi powder, 200ml water, soy sauce and mirin. Cook until boiling.
• After boiling, turn the heat to low.
• In a small bowl, add katakuriko (or corn starch) and 2 tsp water. Mix them up until katakuriko is dissolved.
• Add katakuriko in the pan and stir well.
• Add on top of the Hambagu. This sauce adds a really great flavor!

Notes

*1 Please dry well. If there is too much water, the hambagu won't keep its shape.
