Elevate weeknight comfort food with a gourmet hamburger rice bowl, featuring juicy beef patties infused with aromatic black truffle sauce and a velvety egg yolk.

Ingredients

• 400 g minced beef
• 1 onion
• 2 small eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 4 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp black truffle sauce
• 2 slices cheese
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 2 bowls cooked white rice
• to taste seasoned seaweed flakes
• to taste chopped green onions

Instructions

1. 1Finely Dice the Onion

   

   Place the whole onion on a clean cutting board and use a sharp knife to chop it into small, uniform pieces so they blend smoothly into the minced beef.

   Tip: Ensure the pieces are finely and evenly diced so they blend smoothly into the beef mixture.
2. 2Add Chopped Onions to Beef

   

   Transfer the finely chopped onions from the cutting board and add them directly into a mixing bowl filled with raw minced beef.

   Tip: Add the onions while the beef is fresh to lock in the combined flavors during mixing.
3. 3Pour in Breadcrumbs

   

   Pour a generous amount of breadcrumbs into the mixing bowl over the minced beef and chopped onion mixture.

   Tip: Breadcrumbs help bind the ingredients together and retain moisture in the meat.
4. 4Add Eggs to the Mixture

   

   Pour two small eggs directly into the bowl containing the breadcrumbs and diced onions to begin binding the ingredients together.

   Tip: Crack the eggs into a separate small bowl first to ensure no shell fragments fall into the mix.
5. 5Pour Milk into Mixture

   

   Pour fresh milk into the mixing bowl alongside the egg, breadcrumbs, minced beef, and onions.

   Tip: Adding milk adds moisture and tenderness to the beef mixture for a softer texture.
6. 6Incorporate Black Truffle Sauce

   

   Scoop a spoonful of aromatic Baishan Mountains black truffle sauce and add it directly into the mixing bowl with the beef and other binding ingredients for an exquisite umami flavor.

   Tip: Truffle sauce introduces an exquisite, luxurious aroma and rich umami flavor to the dish.
7. 7Mix the Ingredients Thoroughly

   

   Using your hands or a sturdy spatula, thoroughly mix all the ingredients in the bowl until the beef, onions, breadcrumbs, egg, and truffle sauce form a uniform, cohesive mixture.

   Tip: Ensure the truffle sauce is dolloped near the center for even distribution during mixing.
8. 8Shape the Meat Patties

   

   Take a portion of the fully combined meat and vegetable mixture, and toss it firmly back and forth between your hands to remove trapped air pockets and shape it into a round patty.

   Tip: Tossing the patty helps compact the meat so it doesnt crack or fall apart while frying.
9. 9Prepare the Frying Pan

   

   Heat a clean non-stick skillet on the stove, preparing the surface before adding oil and the shaped meat patties for frying.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is heated evenly over medium heat before adding oil to prevent sticking.
10. 10Steam-Fry with Cooking Wine

    

    Once the bottom develops a deep, golden-brown crust, add a splash of cooking wine to the hot pan and immediately cover it with a lid to steam the patties and lock in the savory juices.

    Tip: Monitor the heat carefully to achieve a rich brown crust without burning the exterior.
11. 11Add the Cheese

    

    Once the patties are fully cooked through and evenly browned, place a slice of cheese directly on top of a hot burger patty, allowing the bubbling pan juices and residual heat to melt it softly.

    Tip: Baste the patties with the pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful.
12. 12Melt Butter

    

    Place a small piece of butter into a clean pan and heat it gently until it melts completely and begins to foam softly, creating the base for the sauce.

    Tip: Keep the heat medium-low so the butter melts evenly without burning or browning too quickly.
13. 13Add Sauce Ingredients

    

    Pour light soy sauce, tomato paste, and a pinch of sugar directly into the melted butter in the pan to build the rich flavor profile of the sauce.

    Tip: Stir continuously as you add the ingredients to blend them smoothly into the hot butter.
14. 14Assemble the Rice Bowl

    

    Spoon seasoned rice into a serving bowl, spreading it evenly, and place a cooked meat patty directly on top as the base layer of the assembly.

    Tip: Press the seasoned rice slightly so it provides a sturdy base for stacking the heavy patties.
15. 15Drizzle the Sauce

    

    Slowly pour the freshly prepared savory sauce from a small pouring vessel evenly over the top and sides of the stacked meat patties and cheese.

    Tip: Pour in a steady, slow stream so the sauce coats the top patty and seeps down over the cheese layers.
