How to MAKE Japans VIRAL sizzling Cheese Burger (HOMEMADE) …it was so good!!! #mukbang #foodreview #newfood #OMCheeseBurger #mukbang Too much cheese or nah?
The cheese sauce smack and you’d think it would be way too much cheese, but it’s not. The one at Applebee’s can get a little overwhelming because the cheese sauce is super cheesy. The cheese sauce I made is different—it has the remnants of cheese flavor, but it’s not overpowering. It’s more mellow. It’s about the cheese type you choose (you can use yellow cheese too).

Japanese Burger (Quick Recipe)

You can use soy sauce or Worcestershire for that fermented umami flavor.

• Cook the bacon how you normally cook bacon.
Burger Sauce
• Mayo, ketchup, mustard
Bread
• I used brioche, but use whatever you like.
• Brioche or sourdough tastes best to me.

Assemble

• Bacon bits
• Burger patty (single or double)
• Sauce
• Bacon
• Top bun
• Cut in half
Cast Iron (Key Part)
• Heat cast iron plate at 450°F for 20 minutes

• Ladle cheese onto the plate and place the burger in
Tip
• Serve it right in front of people—it cools fast for a reason.
Trying this sizzling Japanese cheese burger at home was an absolute game-changer in my cooking routine. What I loved most was how the cheese sauce managed to be rich yet mellow—a stark contrast to many overpowering cheese sauces I’ve tried before, including ones from chain restaurants like Applebee’s. The secret definitely lies in the type of cheese used. For my version, I experimented with a blend of yellow cheddar and mozzarella to achieve that perfect creamy but not too strong flavor. Mixing in a bit of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce into the patty really adds a unique umami depth, which is typical in Japanese-style burgers and elevates the taste beyond the usual. I also found using brioche buns toasted with mayo instead of butter made a difference. The mayo adds a slight tanginess and richness, complementing the smoky bacon and juicy beef. Plus, prepping the cast iron skillet ahead of time by heating it to 450°F gave that iconic sizzling effect. Serving it immediately once assembled is key—the burger’s aroma and presentation really impress when the cheese sauce bubbles on the hot plate. One tip worth sharing is to assemble the burger quickly before pouring the cheese sauce onto the skillet. This prevents the cheese from cooling too fast and losing its signature sizzle. Also, cutting the burger in half after it's plated reveals the layers beautifully, making it both appetizing and easier to eat. Overall, this recipe brought a slice of Tokyo’s street food excitement right into my kitchen. For anyone who loves a cheesy, sizzling burger experience but wants to try something beyond the typical fast food options, this homemade Japanese cheese burger is highly recommended. Experiment with different cheeses to find your perfect balance and don't skip the cast iron plate step—it really makes the dish special!
