Instructions

1. 1Chop Red Onion

   

   Place the red onion on a wooden cutting board and use a knife to chop it into small pieces.

   Tip: Chop the onions finely so they blend smoothly into the hamburger patties later.
2. 2Sauté Red Onion

   

   Spray oil into a frying pan, add the chopped red onion, and sauté until fragrant. Let it cool for later use.

   Tip: Sautéing the onions first removes their sharp raw taste and sweetens the mix.
3. 3Cool Sautéed Onion

   

   Transfer the sautéed red onion from the pan onto a plate or container and let it cool completely before mixing with raw meat.

   Tip: Make sure the onions are cooled before mixing with raw meat and eggs.
4. 4Mix and Form Patties

   

   Combine the minced beef, half an onion, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, black pepper, and sea salt in a large bowl. Mix well until sticky, pick up and throw against the bowl to expel air, then divide and shape into hamburger patties.

   Tip: Throwing the meat mixture against the bowl helps compact the meat and prevents the patties from cracking while cooking.
5. 5Portion Patties on Parchment

   

   Divide the prepared meat mixture and shape it into hamburger patties, placing each one onto a small square of parchment paper.

   Tip: Using parchment paper squares makes it easy to pick up and transfer the patties to the skillet without deforming them.
6. 6Boil Spaghetti

   

   Bring water to a boil, pour in olive oil and sea salt, and add spaghetti to cook for 8 minutes.

   Tip: Adding salt and olive oil to the boiling water seasons the pasta and keeps it from sticking together.
7. 7Fry the Hamburger Patties

   

   Place the prepared hamburger patties into a skillet with heated oil, cooking both sides for about 1.5 minutes each.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is adequately heated before placing the patties to get a good sear.
8. 8Simmer the hamburger patties

   

   Add a little water to the pan containing the browned hamburger patties, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for about 8 minutes. Check doneness by piercing with chopsticks; clear running juice indicates they are fully cooked.

   Tip: Simmering with a lid traps the steam, ensuring the thick patties cook completely through while staying juicy.
9. 9Prepare the Rich Sauce

   

   Directly in the same pan, combine a piece of butter, 4 tablespoons of ketchup, 4 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of cooking wine or mirin, and 6 tablespoons of water.

   Tip: Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat to reduce and thicken the sauce properly.
10. 10Coat with Sauce

    

    Simmer the patties over medium-low heat to reduce the sauce, ensuring the hamburger meat is thoroughly coated in the rich brown mixture.

    Tip: Spoon the bubbling sauce over the top of the patties for even flavor absorption.
11. 11Create Pan Sauce

    

    Directly in the pan with the cooked patties, add butter, ketchup, light soy sauce, cooking wine or mirin, and water to build the rich glaze.

    Tip: Making the sauce in the same pan captures all the delicious leftover pan-seared flavors.
12. 12Mix Pasta and Sauce

    

    Pour plenty of the prepared meat sauce over the spaghetti in the skillet and mix well so every single noodle is thoroughly coated.

    Tip: Toss continuously to let the pasta absorb the rich flavors of the sauce.
13. 13Toss spaghetti in meat sauce

    

    Transfer the cooked spaghetti into the skillet and pour in plenty of the prepared meat sauce. Toss and mix well using tongs so that every single noodle is evenly coated with the rich sauce.

    Tip: Mixing the noodles directly in the warm skillet allows the starches and sauce to meld together perfectly.
14. 14Plate the pasta

    

    Neatly portion and twist the sauce-coated spaghetti into black serving bowls, creating a neat nest foundation for the upcoming toppings.

    Tip: Twisting the noodles into a mound in the center of the bowl provides a stable base for stacking the heavy patties.
15. 15Add a slice of cheese

    

    Place a slice of yellow cheese directly on top of the warm, saucy spaghetti nest in each serving bowl.

    Tip: The residual heat from the freshly cooked pasta will begin melting the cheese immediately.
16. 16Stack the hamburger patties

    

    Carefully place and stack two cooked beef hamburger patties right on top of the melting cheese slice for a double-patty presentation.

    Tip: Stacking them centrally keeps the dish balanced and lets the juices flow down into the cheesy pasta below.
17. 17Add Grated Radish

    

    Place a mound of freshly grated white radish on top of the double beef hamburger patties resting on the bed of pasta.

    Tip: Squeeze out excess liquid from the grated radish lightly if needed so it sits neatly on the meat.
18. 18Top with a raw egg yolk

    

    Place a raw quail egg yolk carefully right on top of the mound of grated daikon radish to complete the presentation.

    Tip: The runny egg yolk adds richness to the burger patties and pasta when mixed in.
