09 - 2 pounds ground beef
10 - 1 large egg

12 - 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
13 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
14 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
15 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ For the eggs

16 - Cooking oil of choice
17 - 6 large eggs

# Instructions:

01 - Rinse white rice under cool running water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed rice and 2 cups water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a small pot, combine beef stock, cornstarch, onion powder, shoyu, and beef bouillon paste. Whisk thoroughly over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, mix ground beef, egg, diced onion, panko, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Shape mixture into 6 equal patties. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties until well browned on both sides and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
04 - Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the edges begin to brown. Carefully flip the egg and cook just until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Repeat for remaining eggs.
05 - Scoop cooked rice onto each plate. Place one burger patty over the rice. Generously ladle brown gravy over the patty and rice. Top each serving with a cooked egg. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Prepare gravy ahead of time for easier assembly when serving groups.
02 - For convenience, a ready-made brown gravy mix may be substituted.
03 - Customize by adding sautéed mushrooms or substituting ground chicken or turkey.
