200 grams Ground pork
100 grams Fresh okara
1/2 Onions (finely chopped)
1/2 Carrot (finely chopped)
50 grams Lotus root (finely chopped) - optional
20 ml Soy milk (or regular milk)
1 dash Salt and pepper
1 tbsp Chicken soup stock granules
50 ml Soy sauce
50 ml Sake
2 tsp Artificial sweetener (or sugar)
1 tbsp Mirin
1 Katakuriko mixed with water

1
Put the ingredients in a bowl, and mix and knead them together with your hands.
2
The texture depends on how much moisture is in the okara, so adjust with the amount of soy milk added.
3
(You should be able to form patties with it.)
4
Divide into 4 portions and form into patties.
5
Spread some olive oil (not listed in the ingredients) in a frying pan, and add the 4 patties.
6
Put on a lid and steam-fry.
7
Open the lid; if the bottom side is browned, turn the patties over and brown the other side.
8
Put the ingredients in another frying pan.
9
Cook while mixing to evaporate the alcohol.
10
Lastly, add the katakuriko and water to thicken the sauce.
11
The sauce is quite thick and sweet.
12
Adjust to taste.
13
Here I packed the bottom of the frying pan with the burger mixture to make a big burger.
14
I served it in the frying pan.
15
I sliced it into portions and served it with grated daikon radish.
16
It's a very neutral-tasting hamburger, so it goes well with any kind of sauce.
17
We also have it simmered in a demi-glace sauce.
