# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Dish out some hot rice onto a plate. Lay a burger patty right on top. Spoon a bunch of gravy over both the patty and the rice. Finish it off with a fried egg. Enjoy it straight away while it’s warm.
02 -
Drizzle a little oil into your pan and set over medium. Crack in an egg, sprinkle salt and pepper if you want, and let it cook till the edges turn brown but the yolk still jiggles. Gently flip it and wait till the white firms up but don't overdo the yolk. Do the same for each egg.
03 -
Add ground beef, egg, chopped onion, panko, ketchup, mayo, salt, and pepper into a huge bowl. Give everything a good mix until it looks smooth. Divide it into 6 thick patties. Pop them onto a hot skillet on medium-high and cook until they’re browned up both sides and all the way through. Move them onto a dish and cover up to trap the heat.
04 -
Toss beef stock, cornstarch, onion powder, shoyu, and beef bouillon paste into a pot. Whisk well as it heats at medium. Keep going until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Keep it close by for later.
05 -
Wash the rice under cool water until it doesn't look cloudy. Dump rice and water into your rice cooker. Cook it how your cooker says.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Whip up the gravy before time to make serving quicker when friends or family are over.
02 -
Using brown gravy packet from a store works just as well if you want it simpler.
03 -
You can swap in cooked mushrooms on top or try ground turkey or chicken if you want to switch things up.
