Steps

1. In a bowl, add 300g ground beef and pork (mixed), 1/3 tsp salt, 80g grated onion, 6 shakes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG), 2 tsp miso, 4 tbsp panko (bread crumbs), 1 egg, 4 shakes nutmeg, and 5 shakes black pepper, then knead well until the mixture comes together. TIP: Grating the onion saves the effort of sautéing and helps the hamburg steak hold together. If the meat mixture feels too loose, add more panko to adjust.
