# Ingredients:

→ Rice

01 - 2 cups medium grain white rice
02 - 2 cups water

→ Brown Gravy

03 - 2 cups beef stock
04 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon beef bouillon paste
08 - 1 tablespoon heavy cream

→ Beef Patties

09 - 2 pounds ground beef
10 - 1 large egg
11 - 1/4 cup diced onion
12 - 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
13 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
14 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
15 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Eggs

16 - Cooking oil of choice
17 - 6 large eggs
18 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water is clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's directions.
02 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together beef stock, cornstarch, onion powder, soy sauce, and beef bouillon paste until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and blend in the heavy cream. Set aside and keep warm.
03 - In a large bowl, mix ground beef, large egg, diced onion, panko breadcrumbs, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper until well blended. Divide into six equal portions and shape into patties. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and cook the patties until browned on both sides and thoroughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
04 - Add a small amount of cooking oil to a skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until the edges are golden brown. Gently flip and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
05 - Scoop the cooked rice onto individual plates. Place one beef patty on top of each serving of rice. Spoon a generous amount of brown gravy over the patties and rice. Top each portion with a fried egg and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For optimum flavor, allow the beef patties to rest for a few minutes under foil to retain their juices before assembling.
