# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Start by spooning steamed rice onto each plate. Pop a burger patty on top of the mound. Pour loads of the hot gravy over it all next. Then put a fresh-cooked egg right on top. Dig in while it's still hot.
02 -
Warm up a splash of oil in your pan over medium heat. Gently crack in an egg, then hit it with salt and pepper. Let the edges get golden and lacy. Flip it real gentle, cook until the yolk’s still gooey but the white is set. Do the same for each egg you want.
03 -
Grab a big bowl. Toss in ground beef, your egg, diced onion, panko, ketchup, mayo, plus some salt and pepper. Mix it up until it looks the same all over. Shape into 6 burgers. Cook 'em in a skillet—medium-high is good—until both sides are nice and brown and they're cooked right through. Keep warm on a plate with loose foil on top.
04 -
Get a little pot and throw in beef stock, cornstarch, onion powder, soy sauce, and bouillon paste. Whisk well over a medium flame till it gets thick. Turn off the heat, then stir in heavy cream at the end. Set it aside for now.
05 -
Give your rice a good rinse under cold water until the water isn’t cloudy anymore. Put the washed rice in your rice cooker, add water, and start it up. Just follow your machine’s usual steps.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can make the gravy ahead to make everything super fast when it's time to eat.
02 -
No time? Use store-bought gravy mix instead.
03 -
Feel free to switch things up—maybe toss in sautéed mushrooms or swap the ground beef for turkey or chicken.
