Instructions
- Start with preparing the udon noodles. In a mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, water, and salt. Put it in the stand mixer with the hook attachment. Mix until the dough comes together.
- When the dough has formed, wrap it using plastic wrap and leave it to rest.
- Using a meat grinder, grind the beef, onion, and bacon.
- Make the binder. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, eggs, and cream.
- Transfer the ground meat mixture into a mixing bowl. Make sure it is properly chilled. Season with garlic powder, Japanese soy sauce, and baking powder. Put it in the stand mixer with the hook attachment. Mix until it all comes together.
- Once the ground meat mixture has been fully incorporated with each other, pour in the binder. Season with black pepper and salt. Mix until everything is combined. Make sure to stop every now and then to scrape the mixture off the sides and bottom.
- When the binder has been fully incorporated in the ground meat mixture, start molding it into the desired shape. Scoop and press it into the mold, then place it on a tray lined with wax paper.
- Once you have enough molded ground meat mixture, with clean hands, shape them into patties. When they have all been turned into patties, let it rest in the chiller.
- Coat the dough with potato starch and flatten it out with the help of a pasta maker. When the dough has been fattened to the desired thickness, cut it into the desired length. Dust it with more potato starch, roll it into a log, and cut it into thick strips. Toss.
- In a pot, heat the water. Season with salt. When the water is boiling, cook the udon noodles. Leave it to cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Once cooked, transfer it into iced water.
- In a pot, heat the oil. Once hot, fry the patties.
- In a pan, heat the butter. Sauté the mushroom. Add the cream, oyster sauce, and cheese. Mix it all together, then add the udon noodles. Toss. Season with black pepper.
- When the udon noodles are cooked, arrange it on a plate. Garnish with black pepper.
- When the patty is cooked, let it rest first. After it has rested, place barbecue sauce on top. Spread it evenly, then place the patty on top of the udon noodles. Garnish with dried parsley and top with bonito flakes.
