    Japanese Tofu and Chicken Burger Recipe ( 豆腐ハンバーグ )

    TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: What we would call Tofu and Chicken Burger, in Japan is simply called Tofu Hambagu (豆腐ハンバーグ), that's because the basic recipe in Japan is made with Chicken.

    If you are not a fan of Tofu, don't worry, it doesn't taste much and in this case, its flavour is completely covered by all the other ingredients. They are just like regular Chicken Burgers, but they are softer and Juicer. And healthier.

    Add a salad next to it and maybe a Tofu Miso Soup and you have a complete healthy meal you won't regret!

    To Make Patties:

    02 - Mince Green Onions, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Ginger.

    03 - In a large bowl, combine all the Ingredients for the Patties and mix.

    04 - Add Patty Seasonings and mix well until the Mixture is sticky.



    05 - Now, make oval shape Patties. Toss each ball from one hand to the other hand repeatedly about 5-10 times in order to release the air from the ball.

    06 - Start cooking the Patties as fast as possible as the Tofu might release more water.



    To Make Sauce:

    07 - While the Patties are cooking, combine the Sauce Ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

    08 - Now, in another bowl, combine the Ingredients for the Slurry Mixture and mix well until there are no lumps anymore.

    09 - In a smaller frying pan or saucepan, add the Sauce Mixture and bring it to a boil.

    10 - Then add the Slurry Mixture in the Sauce and stir together. Cook until the Sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and set aside.



    To Cook Patties:

    11 - In a non-stick frying pan, heat the Oil over medium heat.

    12 - Cook the Patties for about 5 minutes. During this time you won't need to flip or move around the Tofu and Chicken Burgers.

    13 - After 5 minutes, turn the Patties and lower the heat to medium low heat and cook covered for 10 minutes, or until well cooked.

    14 - Transfer the Tofu and Chicken Burgers to a plate.

    15 - Pour the hot Sauce over the Tofu and Chicken Burgers and top with Shiso Leaves or Grated Daikon. Serve.





    Notes:


    - Step 01: Keep the leftover tofu in water and store in the fridge for a few days (make tofu miso soup).

    This burger is one of the best I've ever made. It's well moist and so light at the same time. You really have to drain that tofu though.
