Low-Carb Okara Hamburgers
- 200 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Fresh okara
- 1/2 Onions (finely chopped)
- 1/2 Carrot (finely chopped)
- 50 grams Lotus root (finely chopped) - optional
- 20 ml Soy milk (or regular milk)
- 1 dash Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp Chicken soup stock granules
- 50 ml Soy sauce
- 50 ml Sake
- 2 tsp Artificial sweetener (or sugar)
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 Katakuriko mixed with water
- Put the ingredients in a bowl, and mix and knead them together with your hands.
- The texture depends on how much moisture is in the okara, so adjust with the amount of soy milk added.
- (You should be able to form patties with it.)
- Divide into 4 portions and form into patties.
- Spread some olive oil (not listed in the ingredients) in a frying pan, and add the 4 patties.
- Put on a lid and steam-fry.
- Open the lid; if the bottom side is browned, turn the patties over and brown the other side.
- Put the ingredients in another frying pan.
- Cook while mixing to evaporate the alcohol.
- Lastly, add the katakuriko and water to thicken the sauce.
- The sauce is quite thick and sweet.
- Adjust to taste.
- Here I packed the bottom of the frying pan with the burger mixture to make a big burger.
- I served it in the frying pan.
- I sliced it into portions and served it with grated daikon radish.
- It's a very neutral-tasting hamburger, so it goes well with any kind of sauce.
- We also have it simmered in a demi-glace sauce.
