Rice Burger
Yakiniku beef sandwiched between grilled rice "buns"
Ingredients
Rice Buns
- 2 cups steamed rice
- 2 tsp Katakuriko (potato starch)
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
Fillings
- 7 oz beef (very thinly sliced)
- 1/2 Tbsp oil
- 2 Tbsp Yakiniku sauce (or store bought sauce)
- 2 green leafy lettuce
Instructions
- Mix steamed rice and Katakuriko potato starch in a bowl. Divide the rice into 4 parts. Wrap each portion of rice with a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a 4" (10 cm) round flat patty.
- Heat a frying pan with 1 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Place the rice patties in the pan and cook for a few minutes on one side. Then, flip them over and lightly dab soy sauce on the surfaces of the patties. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, then flip them over again and dab soy sauce on the other sides. Cook until the patties are nicely browned on both sides, then remove them from the heat.
- While the rice patties are cooking, cut the sliced beef into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, then stir-fry the beef for a couple of minutes until it starts to brown. Add yakiniku sauce to the pan and continue cooking until the meat is coated with the sauce and the liquid has almost evaporated.
- Place one rice patty on a plate, then layer it with a piece of lettuce and half of the cooked beef. Top it with another rice patty to create a sandwich-like structure. Repeat this process to make another rice patty sandwich.
