Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear. Put it in a saucepan with the water, bring to a boil, then cover and cook on the lowest heat for 15 min. Rest off the heat, still covered, for 10 min.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, mix the beef with the minced half of the onion, the salt and the pepper. Shape into 4 patties about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick and press a shallow dip in the center of each.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the patties until cooked through, 4-5 min per side, or 71 °C (160 °F) inside. Move them to a plate and cover loosely.

4. 4

   Lower the heat to medium and add the butter and the sliced half of the onion to the same pan. Cook, scraping up the browned bits, until soft and golden, 6-8 min.

5. 5

   Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1-2 min until it smells toasty and turns light brown.

6. 6

   Pour in the stock a little at a time, whisking so no lumps form.

7. 7

   Add the soy sauce and Worcestershire and simmer until the gravy coats a spoon, 4-5 min. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

8. 8

   Slide the patties back into the gravy for a minute to warm through.

9. 9

   In a second pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny side up until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, 3-4 min.

10. 10

    Mound the rice on 4 plates, set a patty on each and spoon over plenty of gravy.

11. 11

    Top each with a fried egg, scatter with green onions and serve.
