Cheesy Beef and Rice Patties is a delightful fusion dish that combines tender, flavorful beef patties with cheesy goodness and seasoned rice. The dish is a perfect balance of savory and creamy flavors, offering a satisfying meal that's simple to prepare yet indulgent. The seasoned rice, lightly pan-fried for a crisp exterior, serves as the base for the juicy beef patties infused with soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. A generous layer of melted cheddar cheese adds a creamy, rich flavor, while eggs bring the components together in a harmonious, protein-packed stack. Ideal for quick dinners, brunches, or even meal prep, this recipe brings comfort food to a whole new level with its unique combination of textures and flavors.

Directions

In a bowl, combine the rice, 3 pinches of salt, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix well. Divide the rice into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a flattened ball.
In a separate bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, 2 pinches of salt, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well. Pat the beef with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Fry the rice balls until golden on both sides. Set aside. In the same pan, add the seasoned beef. Cook until browned on one side, then flip and cook the other side. Add slices of cheddar cheese on top of the beef, allowing it to melt slightly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In another pan, scramble the eggs or cook them as an omelet. To assemble: Place a fried rice ball on a plate. Add the cooked beef with melted cheese on top of the rice. Layer the cooked eggs over the beef.
Combine the layers (rice, beef, and eggs) and fry them lightly in the pan to meld the flavors. Serve warm and enjoy!
