My friend Naoko requested this recipe as she was looking for low-carb dishes to make. She and I used to be classmates and neighbors in Hawaii; now she lives in Australia, 28 hours and opposite-season away. I have chilblains on my toes; she is getting nicely tanned. <br /> <br />So here's a season-free recipe I came up for my globe-trotting friend--far away, but close. <br /> <br />'Hanbaagu' is a Japanese dish made of ground meat. The name obviously is related to 'Hamburg' and 'Hamburger.' It's sort of a thicker and softer hamburger patty, eaten with a variety of sauce on it. It's a typical 'Yòshoku,' or western-style Japanese dish. <br /> <br />This is its meat-and-egg-free version, with Teriyaki sauce. The sauce is cooked in a frying pan along with the patties, so all you need for cooking is one frying pan. <br /> <br />Happy Hambaagu to Naoko and all of you in both hemispheres! <br />
