  • Boil a pan of water. Add the stock cube and a splash of oil (the oil helps to stop the burgers sticking to the steamer).
  • Pop the burgers into the steamer and place the steamer onto the pan of boiling water. Turn down to a simmer.
  • After 15 minutes gently lift the lid of the steamer, holding the lid away from you to protect yourself from the steam, and turn the burgers over.
  • Continue to steam until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 72°C.
To make the caramelised onions
  • Pour the oil into a small saucepan, add the onions and allow to gently cook.
  • Once the onions to start to take on a colour, start adding the mirin one spoon at a time. Allow it to reduce, add a splash of water and keep adding mirin to taste. Cook until the onions are cooked through and keep adding water if the pan sticks.
