Sequestration Meal #333

 

Having made one of the Beyond Burgers in the package into Salisbury steaks, I decided to take the other one in a different direction. I still only ate half at a time because Beyond Burgers are just too filling for me, and I decided that one cut in half lengthwise would make the perfect hambagu, i.e., Japanese-style hamburger steak.

Essentially, I just cooked the burger and glazed it with a mixture of soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire (Annie's is vegan), and mustard, because I was too lazy to pull out the rice wine. But really you should use rice wine, probably, as part of the glaze.

I had my hambagu with one of my most reliable veggie sides: Stir-fried mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes with a splash of soy sauce and a sesame seed garnish. Someday I should do a recipe post on that but I'm nearly always making it because I'm in a hurry and those things are going south in my fridge, so I have never taken the time to properly measure everything. (Things do have the tendency to go south all at once, together, for some reason, and I tend to buy those three things nearly every time I'm at the store.)

I also had rice with Everything Bagel seasoning on top (because I'm nearly at the end of the bottle and it needs to be used, but also it makes for an amazing vegan furikake) and some crispy seaweed, because I had already opened the seaweed and it seemed like it would be nice to have.

This was a really good meal! Everything went together beautifully.
