Ingredients

• 500 g minced beef
• 1 white onion
• 50 g breadcrumbs
• 30 ml milk
• 2 egg
• to taste black pepper
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tsp water starch
• 20 g butter
• 300 g white rice
• 400 ml orange juice
• 100 ml cold whole milk
• to taste ice cubes
• 1 dried orange slice

Instructions

1. 1Chop the onions

   

   Place a white onion on a wooden cutting board and chop it into fine pieces using a chefs knife.

   Tip: Keep the root intact while dicing to prevent the onion layers from falling apart.
2. 2Sauté the onions

   

   Transfer the chopped onions into a black pan and sauté them using a wooden spatula until they soften and mellow in flavor.

   Tip: Cook over medium heat to sweat the onions without browning them too quickly.
3. 3Combine patty ingredients

   

   In a large glass bowl, combine the minced beef with the cooled sautéed onions, breadcrumbs, and a splash of milk. The milk and breadcrumbs work together to keep the meat patties incredibly tender and juicy.

   Tip: Let the sautéed onions cool completely before mixing them with the raw meat to prevent the fat from melting prematurely.
4. 4Add an egg to the mixture

   

   Crack a fresh raw egg directly into the bowl containing the seasoned ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, and sautéed onions.

   Tip: Make sure no eggshells fall into the bowl by cracking it on a flat surface first.
5. 5Mix the meat patty ingredients

   

   Put on a plastic glove and thoroughly mix and knead the ground beef mixture by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated.

   Tip: Knead consistently to help bind the proteins together for a better patty texture.
6. 6Shape the patties

   

   Take portions of the mixed meat and shape them into round patties by tossing the mixture back and forth between your hands to make it firm.

   Tip: Tossing the meat helps remove trapped air pockets, preventing the patties from cracking while cooking.
7. 7Prepare the soul sauce

   

   Combine light soy sauce, ketchup, white sugar, and water starch in a small white pot, then stir with a spoon.

   Tip: Mix the water starch completely before heating to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
8. 8Place the patties in the pan

   

   Carefully place the prepared meat patties into a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Allow them to sit undisturbed so they can begin to develop a crust on the bottom.

   Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan; leave some space between the patties to ensure they sear evenly rather than steaming.
9. 9Fry until browned

   

   Fry the meat patties until a rich, caramelized brown crust forms on the bottom, then flip them over to brown the other side. This searing step locks in the flavor and juices.

   Tip: Resist the urge to press down on the patties with your spatula, as this will squeeze out their flavorful juices and make them dry.
10. 10Simmer to cook through

    

    Add a small splash of water to the hot pan and immediately cover it with a glass lid. Let the patties simmer in the steam for about four minutes until they are fully cooked through.

    Tip: The steam creates a moist environment that ensures the thick patties cook all the way to the center without burning the outside.
11. 11Prepare the juice base

    

    Fill a serving glass with large ice cubes, then pour in the orange juice until the glass is about three-quarters full.

    Tip: Using freshly squeezed orange juice rather than bottled will give your drink a much brighter, more refreshing flavor.
12. 12Froth the milk cap

    

    In a separate mug, whip cold milk using a handheld electric frother until it transforms into a thick, velvety foam.

    Tip: Use cold whole milk for the best results, as the fat content helps stabilize the thick foam structure.
13. 13Top with the milk cap

    

    Gently pour the frothed milk over the chilled orange juice. The thick foam will float on top of the juice, creating a striking and beautiful layered effect.

    Tip: Pour the frothed milk slowly over the back of a spoon if you want to create an extremely clean line between the juice and the foam.
14. 14Melt butter in pan

    

    Place a piece of butter into a hot frying pan and allow it to melt completely, spreading evenly over the surface to prepare for the sauce.

    Tip: Ensure the pan is moderately hot so the butter melts quickly without burning.
15. 15Add soul sauce

    

    Pour the prepared red sauce mixture into the pan with the melted butter, combining the ingredients for the glaze.

    Tip: Stir continuously as you pour to blend the butter and sauce smoothly.
16. 16Simmer patties in sauce

    

    Place the cooked meat patties back into the pan with the bubbling sauce and let them simmer to absorb the rich flavors and coat them thoroughly.

    Tip: Let them bubble on medium heat so the sauce reduces and clings to the patties.
17. 17Fry the egg omelet

    

    Pour a beaten egg into an oiled pan and cook it into a soft, thin omelet.

    Tip: Cook on low heat to keep the egg tender and soft.
18. 18Place omelet over rice

    

    Gently slide or place the cooked soft omelet on top of a warm bowl of white rice.

    Tip: Drape it carefully so it covers the surface of the rice evenly.
19. 19Assemble meat patties on rice

    

    Using tongs, stack two thick, glazed meat patties on top of the egg and rice bowl for maximum satisfaction.

    Tip: Stack them neatly in the center to make the presentation appealing.
20. 20Coat the meat patties with sauce

    

    Drizzle the thick, glossy soul sauce evenly over the stacked meat patties resting on the soft scrambled eggs and rice.

    Tip: Pour the sauce slowly over the top patty so it drips down naturally to coat both layers.
21. 21Add the egg yolk and onion topping

    

    Gently place a pasteurized raw egg yolk right on top of the mound of diced onions resting on the stacked meat patties.

    Tip: Handle the egg yolk carefully using an eggshell half to prevent breaking it before serving.
