Tofu Hamburger Steak

Cultural Context

Tofu Hamburger Steak, or 'Tofu Hamburg' in Japanese, is a popular dish that merges Western hamburger culture with traditional Japanese ingredients. It reflects Japan's adaptation of Western cuisine, making it a beloved comfort food. Often served with a rich sauce, it is a staple in home cooking and can be found in many restaurants. Today, variations abound, including fully vegetarian versions that highlight tofu's versatility.

4 scallions (about 40g)

ground meat

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: lentils

Mushrooms provide umami flavor while lentils are budget-friendly and protein-rich.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats are a healthier alternative with added fiber, while crushed crackers can be more economical.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: silken tofu

Flaxseed meal acts as a binder and is lower in cholesterol; silken tofu can replace egg in vegan versions.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free, while liquid aminos is often less expensive.

Drain Tofu in a strainer.

2

Put Fu (Japanese dried wheat gluten) in a plastic bag and crush them into crumbs with your fingers.

3

Chop scallions.

4

Put all ingredients in a bowl and knead well by hand until smooth.

7

Serve on a dish, put some sliced Shiso leaves on top, then garnish with some grape tomatoes. Eat with Mizkan's Ajipon, regular Ponzu sauce, or dressing of your choice.
