Hi, guys! I'm Masa! This time I'd like to show you all
how to make a tasty burger!
It's called (Japanese),
which is beef cheese burger with wasabi cream sauce.
When it comes to burger,
we might think of two different dishes in Japanese, they have the similar pronunciation!
One is (Japanese),
the other one is (Japanese).
Both are actually from English words,
the patty seared and served on a plate, we'll call it
"ham-ba-gu",
from the English word "Hamburg steak".
The other one is "ham-ba-gaa",
you'll notice it has a longer -a- sound,
this is from the English word "hamburger".
This word refers to the "seared patty,
then stuffed into the middle of the bun and eat it with your hands" that kind of burger!
This video, I'll make "hamburger"
add some Japanese style seasonings,
and make a special burger!
Let's get started!
Quarter of an onion
Thinly sliced
5~6 mushrooms
Thinly sliced
Another quarter of an onion
Finely diced
250g ground beef
1/4 tsp salt
Mix till it turns sticky
Mix the meat first, to make the texture soft and airy.
One yolk (Or 1 egg)
1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
Diced onions
Make sure they're well mixed
I used only beef in the patty,
you can change it into your favorite ratio!
You can make a pork and beef mixture as well!
But this time I want to make a 100% beef burger! That's why I only used beef.
If you don't eat beef you can switch to full pork, it tastes the same!
Separate into two portions
Rub some oil on your hands
First, make a ball shape
Pat out the air in the patty
Then make a flat, round shape
It'll puff up while cooking, make a small well at the center
Make sure the edges are sealed tight, or the juices will burst!
Make the other patty in the same way
Make a wasabi cream sauce
2 tbsp mayo
1/2 tbsp yogurt
1/2 tsp wasabi
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp aonori (nori powder)
1/4 tsp garlic purée
Make a simple BBQ sauce with 2 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tbsp tonkotsu sauce
Add some Tabasco sauce is also great!
This wasabi sauce is one of the star in this dish,
the flavor is based on the mayo and the wasabi.
I also want to have a Japanese stlye,
that's why I use wasabi, not mustard!
If you don't like the flavor from wasabi, you can skip this ingredient,
or you can add mustard and some honey!
And make a honey mustard sauce, it's also tasty!
You can figure out your own sauce, want to add something? Add it and try it out!
Turn up to medium heat
Oil in
Mushrooms and onions in
Cook till they turn golden
Turn down to medium-low heat
1 tsp sake
1 tsp mirin
1 tsp soy sauce
A teriyaki style garnish is done!
Another pan, turn up to medium heat
Oil in
Sear till they turn golden
1 tbsp water in
Lid on
Turn down to low heat
Let it steamed about 3~4 minutes
When they're quite soft and some white juices coming out, they're cooked through
Turn off the heat
Add two cheese slices on each patty
Let the cheese melt with the rest of the heat
(Burger bros~)
2 burger buns
Slice them in half
You can use two slices of bread or other buns you like
Turn on to medium-low heat
Knobs of butter in
Buns in
Toast them till golden
Two slices of tomato
Some mustard sauce on your buns
Add onions-and-mushrooms garnish
Wasabi cream sauce
Make the other one the same way
BBQ sauce served aside
Now, a tasty
beef cheese burger
is done!
We've got a lot of garnishes, it's quite big right now!
The patty is also quite thick actually!
Also, I personally like lettuce,
so the height of the burger is quite high!
You can press it a little bit to bite, there's no problem with that!
Still I want you all to see what it's like when we slice open,
the patty is really thick,
you can see the layers of patty,
buns, and other garnishes!
Hehe.. a really fat patty!
You may not see such a thick patty in stores!
You don't need to worry about the cost, just make some thick patties!
Want more meat? Just add some more!
Okay, no more waiting! The juices are keep coming out!
Let's dig in!
How to hold this...
The patty is really juicy!
(Speechless..)
We didn't cook the patty too long,
there's still loads of juices inside the patty!
They'll just burst out when you take a bite!
The garnish seasoned with sake, mirin, and soy sauce,
add a Wafu flavor to the burger!
The other star is the wasabi cream sauce!
It adds a twist to the burger as well!
Keep on eating!
The buns, I especially use the burger buns this time,
if you can't get one of those, you can just use toast,
and make a sandwich is also delicious!
If you want some tasty, meatatarian-loved, luxurious
