# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a rice cooker, add your rinsed medium-grain rice with 2 cups of water. Wash the grains under cold running water until the water isn’t cloudy anymore. Start cooking as per your machine’s guidelines.
02 -
Mix beef stock, cornstarch, shoyu, onion powder, and beef bouillon paste in a small pan. Heat everything on medium and whisk as it thickens up. Once it’s smooth, stir in the cream and set aside.
03 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the ground beef, diced onion, panko, egg, ketchup, mayonnaise, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Mix until everything’s blended. Shape them into 6 patties. Heat a large pan over medium-high and cook the patties until browned nicely on both sides and done all the way through. Keep them warm on a plate covered lightly.
04 -
Heat some cooking oil in a frying pan over medium. Crack an egg in, season with a little salt and pepper, and cook it until the edges get crispy. Flip it over carefully and let the whites firm up while keeping the yolk runny. Repeat for the rest.
05 -
On each plate, pile some cooked rice. Lay a burger patty on top, pour over a generous helping of gravy, and place a freshly cooked egg on top. Serve while it’s still hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can save time by preparing the gravy before making the rest of the dish.
02 -
Swap out the homemade gravy for an instant mix if you prefer.
03 -
Try mixing things up with sautéed mushrooms or swapping ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
