Craving both karaage and hamburgers? Try this! I made karaage in a hamburger style.
The origin of this recipe: When making karaage, I accidentally put too many pieces in at once, and they stuck together like a hamburger. So, I thought, why not intentionally make it hamburger-style?

Steps

1

Cut the chicken breast into 1 to 2 cm cubes and place them in a plastic bag. Make them smaller than typical karaage pieces. To make it easier to add ingredients, place the bag in a bowl.
2

Add sugar, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, and egg to the bag. Seal the bag and massage the ingredients into the chicken thoroughly.
3

Add all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the bag and massage again.
4

Pour a generous amount of oil into a frying pan. Shape the chicken mixture into a hamburger shape and place it in the pan. Fry until golden brown.
5

Once one side is cooked, flip it over and cook the other side.
6

When both sides are cooked, drain the oil and it's ready to serve!

I also tried mixing in rehydrated hijiki and sesame seeds for a Japanese-style twist.
