What kind of dish is Tofu Hambagu Steak with Homemade Pepper Sauce??

tofu hambagu = tofu hamburger steak

Hamburger steak is a very popular home-cooked dish in Japan. Generally speaking Aibiki mince is used for hamburger steak. (Aibiki mince is a mixture of beef mince and pork mince, and the ratio of beef mince to pork mince is generally 7:3.)

In the recipe for tofu hamburger steak, if you use too much tofu, the dough will become too soft, so 1/3 to 1/2 of the aibiki mince is replaced with momen tofu.

The key to making it well is to squeeze out all the water from the tofu. This is a process to prevent the hamburger steak dough from becoming too soft.

By using tofu, you can make a healthy hamburger steak with low calories and fat.

In addition, using tofu gives it a soft texture, making it easy to eat for everyone from children to the elderly.

When you think of pepper sauce, you might imagine a hot sauce like Tabasco or chili sauce, but this pepper sauce is based on Japanese teriyaki sauce and adapted to suit Western cuisine. It is made with soy sauce, onions, coarsely ground black pepper, and consommé.

Tofu hamburger steaks also go well with ponzu oroshi sauce, so I always have a hard time choosing between this sauce and another one. (Ponzu oroshi sauce is a mixture of soy sauce with citrus juice and grated daikon radish.)

I love hamburger steaks and have a lot of recipes for them, including one with ponzu oroshi sauce, of course. Please take a look at my other recipes.
