Ingredients
- 150 g ground beef
- 1 whole potato
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 portion steamed white rice
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 3-4 g salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste minced shallots
- to taste black sesame seeds
- to taste white sesame seeds
- to taste dried parsley
Instructions
- 1Shred the potatoes

Using the finest setting on your grater, carefully shred the peeled potato. Shredding the potato finely is essential for the right texture of the hamburger patties.
Tip: Keep a firm grip on the potato as you near the end to protect your fingers. - 2Remove excess moisture

Take the shredded potatoes and squeeze them firmly with your hands to remove as much water as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the patties hold their shape during frying.
Tip: Removing the starch-heavy water helps create a crispier patty. - 3Season the beef mixture

In a metal mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, the squeezed shredded potato, minced shallots, 3-4 grams of salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. These ingredients form the base of your patties.
Tip: Be generous with the black pepper to add a classic savory kick. - 4Combine ingredients

Using clean hands or a glove, thoroughly mix the ground beef, potato, and seasonings together until well combined. Ensure the shallots and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Tip: Dont over-mix, as this can make the patties tough. - 5Shape the patties

Take portions of the meat mixture and press them firmly into a metal ring mold to create uniform circular patties. This ensures even cooking.
Tip: Press firmly to compact the patty, which helps it hold together in the pan. - 6Prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce in a 1:1 ratio. Add a generous amount of fine-granule black pepper and stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Tip: Using fine-granule black pepper ensures a smoother sauce consistency. - 7Fry the hamburger patties

Place the prepared ground beef patties into a non-stick pan with plenty of hot oil. Fry each side over medium heat for one minute until well browned.
Tip: Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding the patties to get a good sear. - 8Flip the patties

Use a spatula to carefully flip the beef patties once the first side has developed a nice browned crust. Continue frying for another minute to cook the second side.
Tip: Handle the patties gently to ensure they keep their shape during flipping. - 9Simmer with sauce

Pour the prepared sauce mixture (ketchup, oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauce, and black pepper) directly over the browned patties in the pan. Simmer over medium heat for one minute, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the meat.
Tip: Keep the pan uncovered while simmering to help the sauce reduce and coat the patties evenly.
