Minced Beef Rice Patty Burger
Ground beef and sushi rice are formed into a patty seared until crusted, then stacked with a fried egg, cheddar, and a soy-ginger glaze between toasted milk buns. Cottage cheese and eggs push protein well past a standard burger while maintaining umami-rich beef flavour and char.

Instructions
1
Prep
Finely grate the ginger and chop the scallion. Combine ground beef, cooled rice, cottage cheese, 1 beaten egg, 1 tsp soy sauce, ginger, scallion, and cornstarch in a bowl.
2
Shape
Press the mixture firmly into one 3/4-inch patty, sealing the edges so rice stays contained during cooking.
3
Sear
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the patty 4–5 minutes per side until deeply browned and internal juices run clear, flipping gently.
4
Fry
In the same skillet over medium-low, fry the second egg 2–3 minutes until whites set and yolk remains soft-centred; melt sliced cheddar on the patty in its final minute.
5
Toast
Split the bun and toast both cut sides in the skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until golden.
6
Finish
Whisk mayonnaise, 1 tsp soy sauce, and honey into a glaze; spread on both bun halves.
7
Build
Layer lettuce, tomato, patty with cheese, and fried egg between the bun halves.
8
Plate
Transfer to a plate and serve whole or halved.
