I used to called these fried beef patty ‘Hambaagu’ (ハンバーグ) in Japan. Some people call them ‘Hamburg Steaks’.

I have been crazy about ‘Lao Gan Ma’ brand Crispy Chilli Oil lately. I am using it for very many things. It seems it is not spicy enough for some people, but probably that’s the reason why I enjoy it so much. Today I mixed it with ‘Ponzu’ to make a sauce and dressed Cucumber …
A few days ago, I went to an Asian grocery store in Doncaster East. I knew the shop for a long time but I had never visited. The shop was not like the typical Asian grocery store. I should call it an Asian supermarket. There were so many fresh vegetables and the prices were amazing. …
