Instructions
mushroom gravy
- Add 2 tablespoons butter to a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt remaining butter into the mixture. Sprinkle with flour and whisk together.
- Lower heat to medium and stir in stock. Continue to stir until no lumps remain and gravy has thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
hamburger patties
- Place ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into a mixing bowl.
- Mix together.
- Form 2 even (4 ounce) patties.
- Pour oil into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add burger patties and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook burgers until medium doneness, an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
fried eggs
- In another skillet, add oil and place over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add eggs and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until whites have set and edges are crisp. Remove from heat.
assembly
- Divide rice between two plates and top each with a burger patty. Top with a ladle of gravy, a fried egg, and another ladle of gravy.
- Finish each dish with a sprinkle of furikake seasoning and sliced chives. Serve.

Tips and Tricks for Success
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to save on time when cooking. I always try to prep as much ahead of time as I can, when I cook. For this recipe you can slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic up to 2 days ahead of time and form the burger patties up to 12 hours ahead of time.
- Use beef stock instead of chicken stock if you want a richer, more traditional gravy.
- Add the egg to a hot pan to get a nice, crispy crust around the edge and to set the whites while maintaining a runny yolk.
