Japanese - World Cuisine
These traditional Japanese hamburgers are eaten without a bun. Shiitake mushrooms and tofu make them moist without falling apart, and a mirin glaze adds extra flavor. Absolutely delicious! I like to eat these with cooked daikon (Japanese radish) and rice.

Japanese Wafu Burger
1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu
1 pound ground beef
½ cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 egg lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic paste
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
World Cuisine Step 1 Place the block of tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press the tofu for 10 to 15 minutes then drain off and discard the accumulated liquid. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Step 2 Combine the tofu ground beef shiitake mushrooms miso paste egg salt pepper and nutmeg in a large bowl. Divide into 6 balls and flatten into patties. Step 3 Stir together the mirin soy sauce garlic paste and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside. Step 4 Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the burgers on each side about 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to low; cover the pan and cook until the juices run clear about 5 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Step 5 Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan. Keep moving the pan so the sauce doesn't burn and flip the burgers occasionally to coat both sides with the sauce. The sauce will thicken and create a shiny glaze on the burgers. When all the sauce has been used up the burgers are ready.
