The Ultimate Umami Burger/Cheeseburger

Our ugly, but incredibly savory, delicious and popular ultimate umami burger now has an update when it made it again this week. This time, it became the ultimate umami cheeseburger, which is updated in the recipe.

For the longest time, we’ve been making the best darn hamburger recipe on the face of this earth (insert personal bias.) We’ve never had a specific name for our homemade burger recipe until someone tagged it as the “magic meat”, but not as in “mystery meat” or “I can’t tell if this is chicken or beef.” Rather, it was to describe the magical flavor sensations that everyone experienced when they bit into one of our patties. That “magic meat” term described the juicy, flavorful and savory burger patty that everyone fought over. Sometimes the buns were tossed to the side or forgotten because the meat was just so delicious and satisfying. .

It wasn’t until recently, with all the discussion on Umami (the rich, savory taste in foods) that our burger recipe was re-named as the hamburger loaded with Umami. Our hungry friends were always stumped to figure out the secret ingredient and could never, ever pinpoint that “magic” flavor that made our patties so unique.

It’s the ultimate burger that is so satisfying and savory, no one can eat just one. Make it a double, please.

But this umami rich burger recipe isn’t a new invention, nor is it a trendy recipe to keep up with the popularity of umami rich foods. It’s a family recipe that started from a Vietnamese family back in the early 80’s, in a 2-bedroom apartment, in the middle of Southern California.
