MINI TERIYAKI JAPANESE PORK PATTIES
These little bites of delight can also be made with chicken, beef or even minced fish.
Method
To make the teriyaki, combine mirin and sugar in a saucepan and heat to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
For the pork patties, heat a fry pan with the oil and on a low to medium heat cook the onion and garlic until softened (3-4 minutes).
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the cooled onion and garlic with the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.
Shape the mixture into rounds 2cm in diameter.
Re-heat the fry pan and add a little oil. Brown the patties on each side, cooking them gently for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
Dip into teriyaki sauce straight away and move onto platter.
Serve with slices of lemon, a dollop of mayonaise, a shake of shichimi togarashi and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on each.
