DIRECTIONS

MAKE THE RICE:
Add the uncooked rice and 1 1/2 cups of water to a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Cover the pan then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, without removing the lid.
Turn off the heat and let the rice site, still keeping the lid on, for 20 more minutes.
WHILE THE RICE SITS:
Heat 1 TBSP of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot add the onions to the skillet along with 1/4 tsp salt and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 12 minutes.
Transfer the onions to a plate and set aside.
Mix together the ground beef and garlic in a mixing bowl and form into 3 equal size patties roughly 4-inches in diameter then season both sides of the beef patties generously with salt and pepper.
Add 1 TBSP of oil to the now empty skillet over medium heat.
When the oil is hot add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked beef patties to a plate and set aside.
Mix together 1 cup water, the soy sauce, and the cornstarch in a bowl until well combined.
Put the onions back into the skillet along with the soy sauce mixture and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt & pepper to taste then transfer the sauce to a bowl and set aside.
Carefully crack the eggs into a bowl without breaking the yolks.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 TBSP of oil over medium heat.
When the oil is hot carefully slide the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites begin to set, about 1 minute.
Using a spatula carefully flip the eggs and cook on the other side until yolk is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes for a runny yolk.
Divide the cooked rice into even mounds onto 3 plates then lay a beef patty on top of each mound of rice then top the patties with the onion sauce then lay an egg on top of the onion sauce and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top.
