To make the brugers
- Knead together the meat, ginger, spring onions, pepper and a pinch of salt. Shape into four patties and leave to one side.
- Boil a pan of water. Add the stock cube and a splash of oil (the oil helps to stop the burgers sticking to the steamer).
- Pop the burgers into the steamer and place the steamer onto the pan of boiling water. Turn down to a simmer.
- After 15 minutes gently lift the lid of the steamer, holding the lid away from you to protect yourself from the steam, and turn the burgers over.
- Continue to steam until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 72°C.
To make the caramelised onions
- Pour the oil into a small saucepan, add the onions and allow to gently cook.
- Once the onions to start to take on a colour, start adding the mirin one spoon at a time. Allow it to reduce, add a splash of water and keep adding mirin to taste. Cook until the onions are cooked through and keep adding water if the pan sticks.
- Once cooked leave to one side.
