DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: BEEF PATTIES

• Combine the ground beef, egg, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Mix well.

• Form beef into patties and lightly press them in the center to avoid rising during cooking.

STEP 2: GRAVY

• Caramelize the onions with 2 TBSP of butter for 30-45 minutes over low heat.

• Mix the cornstarch with room temperature water (about 2 TBSP) until it forms a runny paste.

• In a saucepan, combine the beef stock, remaining butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire, and cornstarch mixture. Mix well over medium heat.

• Once thickened, stir in the caramelized onions and set aside.

STEP 3: RICE WAFFLE BUN

• In a bowl, mix egg with the rice.

• Add rice to the waffle maker and cook for 10-12 minutes until crispy.

• Note it works best to use day old rice.

STEP 4: EGG

• Fry eggs and set aside.

STEP 5: SANDWICH

• To the rice waffle bun, add the beef patty, gravy, crispy onions, fried egg, and top with green onion.
