Japanese Hamburg Steak
I changed up the original recipe by mixing tofu. Healthy, meaty and juicy. My recommendation is to serve this dish with some grated daikon radish.

Directions
-
- Mince the onion.
- Put chopped onions, ground beef, tofu, panko bread crumbs, grated garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper in to a bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients well.
- Mix by hand and knead the mixture. (until the mixture become sticky)
- Divide the mixture in half.
- Scoop out one portion, and make it into a ball shape.
- Toss the meat back and forth between your hands repeatedly until the meat mixture becomes tight patty. (5~6 times) *** 1
- Form the patty into an oval shape.
- Repeat step 6~8 with the other meat.
- Place the 2 patties gently in the Donabe, and make a small indention in the center of each patty with your finger. (small indention, not making a hall) ***2
- Put the lid on and cook for 4 min.
- Place some grated daikon radish on top of the cooked patties with your choice of sauce. ***3
***1 This process releases any air inside the patties. Without this process, the hamburg steaks will crack during cooking. ***2 You need to make a small indention, because the center of the patties will rise while cooking. ***3 My recommendation of sauce for the grated radish is Kikkoman brand Ponzu sauce. It's a citrus seasoned dressing and goes perfectly with the daikon radish. Or just a plain soy sauce is good too. If you are not a huge fan of Daikon radish, you can simply pour the Ponzu sauce directly on the hamburg steaks.
