Prepare the hamburgers by placing all ingredients not listed under (A) or (B), except for the oil, into a bowl and combining until the mixture becomes sticky.

Heat 1/2 Tbsp of the oil in a fry pan, cook both sides of the patties over medium heat until browned, cover with a lid and cook for 5 more minutes over low heat to cook through, then remove.
-
Prepare the mushroom sauce. Quickly use paper towel to wipe the fry pan clean. Heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat, and saute the shimeji and eringi mushrooms. Add in the soy sauce, mirin and dashi. Once boiling, mix in the dissolved potato starch solution to thicken the sauce.

Serve 2 hamburgers onto one plate each, cover with the mushroom sauce, and garnish with (C) if desired.
