About This Dish:
Craving Japanese style beef hamburgs? I crave those, but I love these tofu hamburgs even more given the fact that they are super super super healthy, and easy to make! You can make a bunch and freeze them up too. How convenient can it be?

What You Need:
(for 8 large tofu hamburgs)
  • 1 firm tofu (They sell it most grocery store now!)
  • 300g Ground turkey (1/2 - 2/3 of a pound, you can also use ground chicken) 
  • 1 cup Japanese panko (bread crumbs, they also sell these at the asian section of most grocery stores)
  • 1/2 large onion
  • 1 egg
  • Salt, pepper
Sauce
  • About 10 cm of Japanese radish 
  • 2 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1.5 tbsp Japanese sake (or any wine)

2. Get rid of the unnecessary water which of the tofu. I just pressed it hard until water stopped dripping.

Here's the tofu after crushing it thoroughly.

5. Add an already mixed egg, and ground turkey. Mix very well!

7. Using your hands, create the patties! I made them quite big as you can see ;)

9. Add 1/2 cup of water into the pan and close it with a lid! This will steam the hamburgs and cook it well inside.

11. As for the sauce: grate the radish and place HALF of it into a microwavable bowl. Add the soy sauce, mirin and sake and microwave for 2 minutes! Yup, that's it.

1. Let's start! Chop up the onion in small, tiny pieces. Smaller the better!

3. Start crushing the tofu in a large bowl using a whisk. We want to make it a paste!

4. Little by little, add the panko into the tofu.

Picture
6. Once you've mixed it very well, add the onions and mix thoroughly.

Picture
8. Put them on a pan on HIGH heat. Flip them over once you see a nice burn and wait for a nice burn on the other side.

Picture
10. After 3 -5 minutes , take of the lid. If the water is all gone and your hamburgs seem cooked inside, you're all done! 

Picture
Final: Top the hamburgs with the sauce and some fresh grated radish! Enjoy!!

Note: Wrap them up with plastic wrap and freeze them! You can reheat on the pan or on the microwave. Very helpful on those busy days.
