Use a rice cooker if you have one to cook the rice for you while you get everything else done. If you have time, mix the burger patties, shape it, and chill it. That way the patties absorbs the flavours of the herbs and spices, and the chilling firms it up so it doesn’t fall a part when pan-frying.

Heat up your pan with a little oil and pan fry both sides of your patty until done.

Add 2 tbsp of water to deglaze the pan, then add your ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.

Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce to a glaze like consistency. Pour sauce into a bowl for use later.

When your rice is done, fluff it up then mix in 3-4 tbsp chopped spring onion.

Scoop about 1/2 cup of rice onto your cling wrap, lay another piece of cling wrap on top of it. Use you hands to compact it and shape it into you ‘burger bun’.

Lightly grease your heated frying pan, and pan fry the rice patties on both sides to get a nice crust.
Meanwhile, fry your eggs.

Build your rice burger, and spoon some sauce over the patty while you are at it.
