I'll post my recipe for Japanese Hamburg. It's really easy to make, and tastes great:



Japanese ハンバーグ (Hamburg). Now this is what I call food! Goes perfect with sprouts.

-1 lbs ground beef (make sure not to get extra lean. Mix in some ground pork if you want a richer patty)
-1 egg
-1/2 onion, finely chopped
-1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs - they are coarse and gritty. This is important!)

-Grill onions in coconut oil, butter, or lard, set aside.
-Mix ground beef with egg & onion, I usually add some pepper and a couple dashes of worcestershire here too
-Gently mix in panko, make sure it is well distributed, but do not overmix
-Form patties with hand. The bigger the better!
-Fry in some butter, lard, coconut oil, (or peanut oil if that's all you have). Anything with good saturated fat! Avoid garbage like canola oil, corn oil, "vegetable" oil, etc.

Cook on medium heat, Only flip once, do not squish them down, do not cut them open.

Once cooked, set aside. Do not waste the delicious healthy fat! Mix up a sauce from the following:

-1/2 cup ketchup (find one that does not use high fructose corn syrup if you can - good luck with that)
-1/4 cup Chu Nou Sauce (Japanese version of fruity 'brown sauce' basically. Kind of like HP sauce but thinner and sweeter).
-1 tbs soy sauce

Once mixed, fry up the sauce a bit, and put the patties back in to coat. You can also slice some mushrooms and/or carrots to add to the sauce.

Serve on a bed of sprouts, cabbage, or any other healthy vegetables you like. Add a side of more vegetables. If you are feeling really nasty, mayonnaise tastes great on these things. If you are a carbivore, you could eat it traditionally with Japanese rice, and enjoy the lethargy afterwards .
