Place the hamburger steak patties on servings plates and pour the sauce over the top.

comment:

Because hijiki is added into the patties, this hamburger steak has a lighter and simpler taste than regular hamburgers. Hijiki contains a lot of dietary fiber and iron, so this hamburger steak is also very healthy.
