I used to called these fried beef patty ‘Hambaagu’ (ハンバーグ) in Japan. Some people call them ‘Hamburg Steaks’. Here in Australia, they are commonly called ‘Rissoles’, but Rissoles can be a very different food in your country. If you are a beginner cook and trying to cook Rissoles, this is the most common recipe.
