Preparation

Step 1

In a large non-stick fry pan heat 1 – 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add half of the patties. Fry for 3 minutes then flip patties over and fry for another 3 minutes or until nicely browned and cooked through (cooking time will depend on the size of your patties). Repeat with the remaining patties.

They are especially delicious served with white or brown rice, Japanese pickles and Kabocha No Toroni (Kabocha squash simmered in rice wine and soy sauce).

***These patties are super when grilled on the barbie. And by all means, try the recipe the way my mom made it; spread meat mixture on hot dog buns and finish under the broiler.
