STEPS

    Patty mix

  3. Crumble the tofu into a medium size bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Mix well if the mixture is to soft add more panko if needed.
  5. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Form tofu mixture into 4-6 patties. Heat a sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of oil and cook patties over medium high heat until brown on both sides 4-5 minutes per side.

    Loco moco sauce

  1. In a sauce pan heat the butter add the sliced onion and caramelize over medium heat. When the onions are caramelized add the sliced shiitake mushrooms cook until soft.
  2. When the mushroom are soft add the flour cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the stock to prevent the mixture does not become lumpy. After the stock is incorporated add the BULL-DOG TONKATSU SAUCE and BULL-DOG WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE. Simmer over medium low heat for 4-5 minutes adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. To plate add ¾ -1 cup of rice on a plate place the patty on top and top it with a fried egg and add sauce on top and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
