This Japanese-style hamburg steak features the juicy flavors of mixed ground meat complemented by the refreshing taste of sudachi and grated daikon radish. The addition of mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms enhances both the texture and umami, making it a healthy and satisfying dish.
Using agar powder, the dietary fiber in the agar helps to encapsulate carbohydrates and fats, reducing their absorption in the body. This makes the hamburg steak enjoyable without the guilt. The mixed ground meat, balanced with beef and pork, is rich in essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc, aiding in recovery from fatigue and boosting the immune system. Mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms promote a healthy gut, rich in vitamins and minerals. The digestive enzymes in grated daikon radish help regulate the stomach, preventing post-meal heaviness. The tangy flavor of sudachi enhances the hamburg steak's umami, while the aroma of shiso leaves stimulates the appetite. These Japanese flavors come together to create a delightful and elegant dish.
Enjoy this light and refreshing Japanese-style hamburg steak with your family. It pairs perfectly with rice, providing a fulfilling meal for both the heart and body.
Ingredient Characteristics
Mixed ground meat: Beef and pork are balanced to provide essential amino acids, proteins, collagen, B vitamins, potassium, iron, and zinc. Beef is rich in essential amino acids, protein, collagen, B vitamins, potassium, iron, and zinc. Pork is high in vitamin B1, which, when combined with the allicin in onions, forms allithiamine, aiding in fatigue recovery.
Mushrooms: Rich in vitamin B2, which promotes growth, and fermentable dietary fiber that improves gut health.
Wood ear mushrooms: Contain fermentable dietary fiber, vitamins B2 and D, potassium, calcium, iron, and zinc, making them beneficial for weight control and diabetes prevention.
Daikon radish: Contains multiple enzymes that aid digestion, with amylase breaking down starches and preventing indigestion and heartburn.
Shiso leaves: Rich in vitamins and minerals, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties.
Combining these ingredients results in a nutritious and delicious Japanese-style hamburg steak.

Japanese Sauce
Sake 3 tablespoons
Sudachi (or lemon) 8g
Mirin 2 tablespoons

Instructions
1. Finely chop the onion, and use a food processor to finely chop the wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms.
2. Sauté the onion in a frying pan until translucent, then add the wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms, cooking until done. Allow to cool.
3. Soak the agar powder in water and the breadcrumbs in milk.
4. Cook the broccoli in boiling water with olive oil, then drain. Chop the zucchini and sauté with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cut the tomato into wedges. (Tip: Cooking broccoli in water with oil increases the absorption rate of beta-carotene.)
5. In a bowl, mix the ground meat with salt and pepper. Add the beaten egg, soaked agar, and breadcrumbs, then mix well. Add the cooled onion, wood ear mushrooms, and mushrooms, and mix thoroughly.
6. Divide the mixture into three portions and shape into ovals, making sure there are no cracks and pressing a small indentation in the center. Place the patties in a frying pan greased with olive oil.
7. Cover the pan and cook the patties over medium heat until both sides are browned. Once both sides are cooked, lower the heat and add sake, steaming the patties.
8. Grate the daikon radish and lightly squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the shiso leaves.
9. Once the patties are cooked, place them on plates. Add sake, sudachi, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and butter to the pan, heating until the sugar and butter are melted to make the sauce.
10. Serve the hamburg steak with broccoli, zucchini, and tomato on the side, pour the sauce over the patties, and top with grated daikon radish and shiso leaves.
