In Japan, we call hamburger patties, "hamburgu", so I call this recipe is tofu hamburg and not hamburgers like in English. A big problem that can happen when making hamburgers (or rissoles) are that they can be very dry, hard, and crumbly. So to make sure the hamburgers I make are always soft and juicy (and delicious), I put a little Japanese twist on them by adding tofu. To make the ponzu, heat the sake, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.

Light and Fluffy Tofu Hamburger Steaks Simmered in Sauce instructions

1. To make the hamburgers: First, dice the onion and cook them through. Put all the hamburger ingredients into a bowl and knead thoroughly..
2. Continue to mix the hamburger ingredients until pink and sticky..
3. Form into patties of your desired shape. Brown the surface in a pan set over medium strong heat. You do not have to cook the patties through at this stage -- just brown the surface..
4. Make the tomato sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients together in a pot and turn on the heat..
5. When the soup stock cube has dissolved into the sauce, add the browned hamburgers from Step 3, simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes. If you use a pressure cooker, simmer for 3 minutes, and let the pressure cooker cool down naturally..
6. You could add chopped potatoes and carrots to the simmer in Step 5. Cut the vegetables into chunks and wrap them in plastic wrap. Cook halfway through in the microwave before cooking (or just throw them raw into the pressure cooker)..
7. Cover the patties with sliced cheese. I used pre-sliced cheese and simmered it in the covered pot for 2-3 minutes to melt..
8. It should look like this after the cheese has melted..
9. If you have leftover sauce: Dilute with water and simmer rice in it for a yummy "tomato risotto." You could even add tomatoes and cheese while simmering. So good!.

Add the soy sauce and return to the boil. This is just the Japanese tendency. You can use either one for this tofu burger depending on your liking. Tofu has a lot of moisture. Wrap the tofu with a kitchen towel.
