When we were living in Asia, Mos Burger had to be one of our favorite fast food treats. Mos Burger is a Japanese fast-food hamburger chain. It’s Japan’s second largest fast food restaurant, behind only (yup, you guessed it) McDonald's.

The Miso Katsu burger is an original Japanese recipe. It is a burger made of pork cutlets with miso sauce. Most Americans know miso because of the popularity of miso soup.
Making this super delicious burger is almost as easy as making a regular burger. So why not impress your family and friends at your next party?!

Husband say: "Tastes like Mos Burger! But better. Mos Burger was one of my favorite lunch places to hit up in Hong Kong, so this is like a taste of home for me. Really good, and you can't find these in the US anywhere, so its a treat."
