Study Notes

Krabby Patty Origins

  • The Krabby Patty is the most requested dish on Binging with Babish
  • The alleged "secret ingredient" of the Krabby Patty is a heaping tablespoon of nothing, a clever marketing ploy by Mr. Krabs
  • Some sources claim the secret ingredient is "King Neptune's Poseidon Powder", likely MSG (monosodium glutamate)

Initial Krabby Patty Recreation

  • A store-bought frozen beef patty is seasoned with salt, pepper, and MSG.
  • Thawed patty cooked in vegetable oil in cast-iron on high heat
  • Follows Spongebob's assembly order: lettuce on the burner, American cheese slice, Vidalia onion slice, tomato, ketchup, mustard, and pickles.
  • The recreation results in a "totally delicious burger"

Enhancing Umami Flavor

  • Natural umami bombs can be used to replace MSG if desired
  • A seasoning is created from bonito flakes (shaved dried fish), dried shiitake mushrooms, dried kombu (sea kelp), and a single anchovy.
  • Ingredients are ground in a spice grinder into a fine dust
  • Use equal parts beef, short rib, and chuck steak cut into 1-inch cubes, then chilled in the freezer with the food processor blade

Tomato Preparation for Umami

  • Tomatoes are oven-dried at 200°F for about 1.5 hours on a nonstick surface (Silpat) with olive oil and kosher salt.
  • Increase glutamate content to ketchup with sun-dried tomato puree mixed with regular ketchup

Optional Flavor Enhancements

  • Yellow miso can be combined with mustard.

Assembly for Enhanced Krabby Patty

  • Parmesan cheese crisps are baked at 350°F for about 15 minutes, creating a savory, crispy addition, then seasoned
  • Sear the patties as usual and remove from heat before adding your spice powder
  • Patty, caramelized onions, oven-dried tomato, miso mustard, sun-dried tomato ketchup, Parmesan cheese crisp, and iceberg lettuce.
  • The final result is a symphony of flavor.
