Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Shall we start making the Double Cheese Bagel Hamburger, packed with nutritious shiitake mushroom and pork patties? This recipe yields 4 generously sized hamburgers.
Step 2
First, let’s begin by preparing the star of our hamburger: the shiitake mushroom and pork patty.
Step 3
Rinse the shiitake mushrooms thoroughly under cold running water to clean them.
Step 4
Gently squeeze out excess water from the shiitake mushrooms, then finely chop them. This helps them blend well with the ground pork and creates a smoother patty texture.
Step 5
Place the 600g of ground pork into a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add all the finely chopped shiitake mushrooms to the ground pork.
Step 7
Add a pinch of salt to season the pork and help tenderize it.
Step 8
Don’t forget to add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for a boost of flavor. Garlic is a must-have in Korean cooking!
Step 9
Add about 2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions. Green onions add depth of flavor and cut through richness. (Tip: You can also use thawed frozen chopped green onions.)
Step 10
Pour in 2.5 tablespoons of soy sauce for that savory umami taste.
Step 11
Add 2 tablespoons of mirin (rice wine) to further enhance the patty’s flavor and eliminate any porky smell.
Step 12
A touch of sweetness in the patty will make the hamburger even more appealing, especially for kids! Add 1.5 tablespoons of oligodang (corn syrup).
Step 13
Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper to remove any gamey odor from the pork and add a hint of spice.
Step 14
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty and rich aroma.
Step 15
Now, put on a pair of disposable gloves and gently mix all the ingredients with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Step 16
The mixture might seem a bit loose due to the moisture in the ground pork. This is normal! Crack in 2 eggs into the well-mixed pork mixture.
Step 17
Gently mix again with your hands until the eggs are fully incorporated. The eggs will help bind the mixture together.
Step 18
If the mixture still feels too wet to form patties, add 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour or pancake mix. These dry ingredients will absorb excess moisture and help create a firmer patty.
Step 19
Mix again until a slightly firmer patty mixture forms, one that holds its shape when pressed. It should no longer be overly sticky.
Step 20
Take portions of the prepared mixture and shape them into round, flat patties, about the size of your bagel halves. You should get 8 patties in total for 4 hamburgers.
Step 21
Now it’s time to pan-fry the patties until golden brown. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a generous amount of canola oil or cooking oil, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
Step 22
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the shaped pork patties onto it. Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning.
Step 23
It’s crucial to cook the patties thoroughly so that they are cooked through to the center. Avoid serving undercooked patties.
Step 24
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, flipping them until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your patties.
Step 25
Place the cooked patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. You now have 8 delicious patties!
Step 26
Now, let’s assemble the Double Cheese Bagel Hamburger! Prepare your bagels and layer the patties and fresh ingredients. While regular bagels are fine, using onion bagels adds an extra layer of flavor.
Step 27
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each onion bagel in half horizontally. Try to cut smoothly to avoid crumbling the bread.
Step 28
Spread your chosen sauces on the cut sides of the bagel halves. Apply honey mustard sauce to one half and ketchup to the other, according to your preference. Don’t be shy with the sauces – they contribute significantly to the overall flavor!
Step 29
Adding fresh vegetables makes the hamburger even more vibrant and tasty. Prepare several lettuce leaves, one thinly sliced onion, and 1-2 thinly sliced tomatoes.
Step 30
Wash the lettuce leaves well and pat them dry. Slice the onion into thin rings and the tomatoes into thin rounds.
Step 31
Start assembling! On the ketchup-spread bottom half of the bagel, place two lettuce leaves neatly. Lettuce acts as a barrier to prevent the bun from getting soggy.
Step 32
Arrange the sliced onion rings on top of the lettuce. The onion’s slight bite adds a nice contrast.
Step 33
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the onions. The cheese will melt slightly and help bind the ingredients.
Step 34
Carefully place one warm, freshly cooked shiitake mushroom pork patty on top of the cheese.
Step 35
Add another slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty. Remember, it’s a ‘double cheese’ hamburger!
Step 36
Stack another pork patty on top of the second slice of cheese. This is what makes it a double-patty, double-cheese delight!
Step 37
Finally, place 2 tomato slices on top of the cheese. The fresh, juicy tomatoes offer a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the burger.
Step 38
Cap it off with the honey mustard-spread top half of the bagel. Your first Double Cheese Bagel Hamburger is complete! Repeat this process with the remaining bagels and ingredients to make three more. Feel free to adjust sauces or vegetables to your liking.
Step 39
Consider preparing a complementary soup to go with your delicious bagel burgers. Instant sweet corn soup or cream soup would be excellent choices.
Step 40
Once all four hamburgers are made, the presentation is truly impressive and mouthwatering! For an extra touch, sprinkle some parsley flakes over your soup for a more appealing and aromatic garnish.
Step 41
A side view of the finished Double Cheese Bagel Hamburger showcases the impressive stack of ingredients within.
Step 42
The height of these burgers, thanks to the layered ingredients, is quite remarkable! They stand tall like a delicious tower, promising a truly satisfying meal.
Step 43
This special Double Cheese Bagel Hamburger, with its nutritious shiitake mushroom and pork patty, was a huge hit with my entire family. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! I encourage you to try this recipe at home for a homemade gourmet burger experience. Happy cooking!
