Method
Preparing the Rice
- 1
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Shape into two equal patties, about 1/2-inch thick.

Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
