In a small bowl, combine 30g breadcrumbs and 70ml milk. Knead and press with hands until fully absorbed and soft, then set aside.
Watch out
Measure milk accurately
too much makes meat mixture too soft to shape, while too little will not soften breadcrumbs
Place half an onion on the cutting board, slice vertically first then dice into fine, uniform pieces.
Watch out
Dice onions evenly and finely, otherwise large onion chunks will fall out and break patty shape during frying.
Pour 1 tbsp cooking oil into a skillet, add diced onions, and stir-fry over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until translucent. Remove and cool completely.

Wash hands and utensils thoroughly before and after handling raw meat and eggs to avoid cross-contamination. Raw meat carries bacteria; do not touch cooked food or containers with unwashed hands after mixing.
In a large bowl, place 350g minced pork/beef, add soaked breadcrumbs, cooled onions, 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp white pepper, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp nutmeg. Knead quickly with hands until sticky and tacky.
Watch out
Onions must be completely cool
knead quickly so body heat does not melt meat fats, which ruins juiciness
Divide mixture in half. Toss one portion back and forth between hands to expel air, shape into a smooth oval patty, place into pan, and press a small indentation in the center.
Watch out
Toss patty thoroughly to release air bubbles
pressing the center prevents it from bulging and undercooking in the middle
