Ingredients
  

Hambagu

  • 340 g ground beef & ground pork mix The good beef/pork ratio for Hambagu is 2:1 (beef 227g / pork 113g). 100% beef is ok but it will be a bit greasy and less juicy than combined meat.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 large onion 1/2 is about about 115-135 g (Change depending on how many Serving you set)
  • 5 Tablespoon panko
  • 3 ½ Tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 large egg(s)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Sauce

  • 300 g diced tomato can
  • 100 g water
  • 1 Tablespoon mirin
  • 2 Tablespoon Miso
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 80 g shimeji mushrooms

Instructions
 

To cook rice

  • Hambagu is always good with rice so please cook rice first if you want! How to make rice is HERE.

Hambagu

  • Cut onion into small pieces.
  • Move the onion to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute with a cling wrap. Cool it down.*1
  • While the onion is cooling, add ground beef, pork and salt in a bowl and . Mix until the meat is well mixed and gets sticky.
  • After the onion is cool, put the onion, panko, milk, egg, nutmeg and black pepper in the bowl and mix with the meat until everything is combined. You can use a silicone spatula/spoon to mix.
  • Divide the mixture into quarters or into 4.
  • Toss it from one hand to the other. I do this 8-10 times in order to get rid of the air inside the meat. The ensures the Hambagu won't crack while cooking.
  • Shape the Patties 0.8 inch (2cm) thick and make a dent in the middle of the patties.

Sauce

  • Wash and cut shimeji mushrooms bottom.
  • Open diced tomato can.
  • In a small bowl, add the diced tomato can, water, miso, mirin, and soy sauce. Mix everything.

To cook the the stewed Hambagu

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and place the meat patties in the pan. Cook until one side gets brown (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Turn the patties over and cook other side till brown (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the sauce and shimeji mushrooms into the pan. Cook for 12 minutes with a lid.
  • Take off the lid and cook another 3 minutes.

To serve

  • Let's serve! On a plate put rice and add the tomato & miso Hambagu on the side.
    It is so good.

Notes

*1 Please cool it down onion completely. This is an important point to make a juicy hambagu.
