Ingredients

10-12 pieces
  1. 1 pack (450 g)Ground pork
  2. 1 pack (450 g)Firm tofu
  3. Onion ½ medium (about 100 g), finely chopped
  4. ★1 tbsp Potato starch
  5. ★1 tbsp Soy sauce
  6. ★1/3 tsp Grated garlic

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wrap tofu in paper towels and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes to drain excess water.
    Place finely chopped onion in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for about 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, drained tofu, cooked onion and all ★(potato starch, soy sauce, and grated garlic) Mix thoroughly by hand until well combined.
    Divide the shape into round patties, and slightly indent the center. Place the shaped patties onto a tray lined with paper towels and let them sit to remove additional moisture before cooking.

  3. 3

    Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for about 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for another 5–6 minutes until fully cooked through.

  4. 4

    Grate some fresh daikon radish and place it on top of the hamburg steak. To enjoy a refreshing flavor, use ponzu sauce this time.
