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.

1

Drain the water from the firm tofu.

2

Finely chop the onion, place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600w for 1 minute, then let it cool.

3

Chop the green onions (for garnish).

4

In a large bowl, add the ground meat, tofu, onion, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sugar, consomme granules, ginger paste, panko breadcrumbs, and potato starch. Mix well and knead thoroughly.

5

Divide the mixture roughly into four portions and shape them into oval patties.

6

Prepare the ponzu sauce by combining ponzu, soy sauce, sake, sugar, and mirin in a frying pan and heating over medium heat to evaporate the alcohol.

7

Heat oil in a frying pan, add the patties, and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until browned.

8

Flip the patties to brown the other side for about 1.5 minutes.

9

Flip again, add sake (1 tablespoon), cover, reduce heat to low, and steam for about 5 minutes until cooked through.

10

Serve with the prepared ponzu sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.
