KCP Fall 2015 Students Cook Hambagu: Japanese Hamburger Steak

Hambagu (ハンバーグ), or Japanese hamburger steak, is a popular dish enjoyed in Japanese homes. It is available at many Yoshoku (Western Japanese) restaurants. It is similar to a Western burger, although it is most often served with rice. Ingredients are also different, making the hambagu unique with its own Asian twist.  The usual ingredients include a mixture of ground pork and beef which adds flavor, richness, and soft texture. It is a healthy, quick, easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy. Be creative and top it with your favorite cheese and serve it with your favorite sidings. Typical sauce for hambagu is tonkatsu sauce which makes it a Japanese staple.
