The recipe is for those who are hungry but have little money and time to shop and cook. And also something else than pasta, fries or pizza want to eat. The ingredients are available in almost every supermarket.
ingredients
- 2.0 L of water for rice
- 2 bags of cooking bag rice
- 0.5 L of water for sauce
- 2 pckg. Gravy
- 4 hamburgers (TK-Patties, alternatively: 400-500 g fresh ground beef)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 eggs (5 eggs when using ground beef)
preparation
- Add the 2 teaspoons of salt to the 2 liters of water and bring to a boil. Then put the rice bag in the pot and cook over low heat. The rice is cooked when the rice bags rise to the water surface (after about 20 minutes). Drain the bags in the strainer.
- Put half a liter of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. When the water boils, stir in the two packets of gravy and switch to low heat after 1 minute.
- Or warm up the sauce residue from the last roast.
- Fry the 4 hamburger patties in a pan.
- If you do not have TK patties, you can also mix 400-500 g fresh ground beef with one egg, make 4 flat patties and fry them in the pan.
(Please, please, do not make "buns with meat flavor" as in this country usual, meatballs called - so do not use rolls, onions, pepper or salt!)
- Then the one-sided fried fried eggs (so setze eggs) in the pan prepare.
Portion the rice onto the plates, place 2 hamburger patties on the rice bed per plate and top with plenty of sauce. For topping, place a double fried egg over each (in the picture they are sprinkled with paprika). Finished!
Although the Hawaiian original recipe only provides simple gravy, it is open to variations in all directions. I also like to refine the sauce with cream, roasted onions, mushrooms, some cumin and / or a small (!) Shot of red wine or sherry.
As a side dish, a cool cucumber or coleslaw tastes very good - or the 'Coleslaw' from KFC (if there is one nearby). Bon Appetit!
