I usually make chicken tsukune patties, but I had leftover aburaage, so I made this. It's sort of a "meat-stuffed" aburaage.

You can use ginger from a tube. When draining the grease from the abura age, it is easier if you wrap it in a paper towel and squeeze out the grease. You cut off the opening and make one large meat stuffed abura age (use the cut off ends in miso soup). Recipe by Mikikoshi
