Who is feeling the heat this summer? With temperatures soaring, it's the perfect weather to be cooking on the BBQ. This week, I was sent some sample Yutaka products to review - their miso paste, panko breadcrumbs, wasabi paste to name a few and some recipes to add a Japanese twist to traditional BBQ-ing.
Now, I really love miso paste and try to add it to just about everything, so this Japanese-inspired miso laced burger really hits the spot. Top with wasabi mayonnaise and what more could your heart desire?
Panko Burgers
Makes 6
Ingredients
2 small red onions, finely chopped
2 crushed fat garlic cloves
500g lean minced beef
2 tbsp Yutaka Panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Yutaka Organic miso paste
1 tbsp Yutaka BBQ Yakiniku sauce
Salt & pepper
To stack
6 buns
3 tbsp mayonnaise
½ - 1 tsp (depending on taste) Yutaka Wasabi paste
Sliced onion rings
Sliced pepper rings
Whole mushrooms
Salad leaves
Tomato Ketchup
Method
Place onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, meat, pastes and salt and pepper in a food processor until combined. With wet hands shape 6 burgers, cover and chill.
BBQ burger patties (brushed with BBQ sauce), mushrooms, onion rings and peppers until cooked. Cut burger buns in half and place insides down on BBQ until slightly toasted.
Mix mayonnaise with Wasabi paste. Slice mushrooms.
Now stack - on half of the bun place some salad leaves, then the burger, onions, peppers, mushrooms top with the Wasabi mayonnaise and put the lid on the burger.
