Ingredients

• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, miso paste, minced garlic, chopped green onion, grated ginger, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add the pork patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F) and are nicely browned.
