Ingredients

• Ground beef (kosher) - 250 grams
• Matcha green tea powder - 1 tablespoon
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, matcha powder, panko breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if necessary. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.
