Ono Hamburger
Ono Hamburger features juicy ground beef seasoned with a savory sauce blend, topped with mayonnaise and onion, offering a flavorful, easy-to-prepare burger-like dish perfect for any casual meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground beef, mayonnaise, oyster sauce, shoyu, egg, chopped onion, and bread slices together thoroughly.
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Cook the patties on a grill or skillet until fully cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like parsley to the beef mixture. If you're short on time, pre-packaged coleslaw can replace the chopped onion for added crunch and flavor. To bind the patties better, use breadcrumbs instead of bread slices. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and feel free to mix in some grated cheese for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ono Hamburger with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. Toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles complement the juicy patties perfectly. For a unique twist, consider pairing it with Grandma Nettie'S Hamburger 'N Mushroom Gravy for a hearty combo that will impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until heated through. For a quicker option, microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but this may slightly affect the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
Yes, you can substitute ground turkey for ground beef in this recipe. Keep in mind that turkey tends to be leaner, so you may want to add a little extra mayonnaise or a splash of olive oil to keep the patties moist.
How can I make these patties spicier?
To add some heat to your Ono Hamburgers, consider mixing in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the meat mixture. You can also top the cooked patties with spicy condiments like sriracha or pepper jack cheese for an extra kick.
What should I do if the patties fall apart while cooking?
If your patties are falling apart, it may be due to insufficient binding. Ensure that the egg is well mixed in and try adding a bit more bread or some breadcrumbs to help them hold together. Chilling the formed patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking can also help them firm up.
