According to the Seymour Historical Society in Wisconsin, they named Charlie Nagreen as the creator of the hamburger. Charlie Nagreen's name is now synonymous with being called "Hamburger Charlie". He was selling sandwiches filled with meatballs when he was 15 years old at the Seymour Fair in 1885. Due to the lack of success, he found out why, because customers couldn't walk around while eating, he flattened the meatballs he was selling and placed them between slices of bread, it turned out that this was a success and was able to attract the attention of consumers, because the Hamburg Steak dish was very popular at that time, Charlie Nagreen also gave the name Hamburger to his invention. Since then he always returned every year to the Seymour Fair to sell hamburgers, until his death in 1951.

Beef Rice Burger instructions

1. The key for making this rice burger is the type of rice used for making the bun. You will need to use short-grain instead of long-grain rice. The softness and stickiness of the short-grain rice when it is cooked will help the rice stick together when compressing the buns. Long grain rice is less starchy and is drier and separate easily after it’s cooked..
2. If you want the rice burger to look like a real hamburger, you will also need a mold, whether it is plastic or stainless steel, to form that perfect round shaped rice bun. 2 cups of cooked rice will yield 4 rice buns with each of the buns has around 1/2″ thickness. I use sliced beef in this recipe but you can use sliced pork or chicken if you prefer a different kind of meat..
3. Grease your hands and the mold with some oil to prevent the rice from sticking. Compress 1/2 cup of cooked rice into the mold. Make sure your press the rice tightly. Set the rice buns aside while you prepping the other ingredients.
4. Grate the ginger.
5. Thinly slice the yellow onion, carrot, and red bell pepper.
6. Thinly slice the beef. It’s better to have the beef slightly frozen. That’s way it’s easier to cut very thin slices. Transfer the sliced beef into a bowl to marinate..

8. Brush oil evenly on a pan then add the rice buns. Fry one side on medium low heat for about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes..
9. Flip the rice buns and brush some soy sauce on the top to add extra flavor to the rice buns. Cook for another 2 minutes then flip again and brush some more soy sauce on the top. Continue to fry until the rice surface is crispy and slightly brown then set aside..
10. To saute the marinated beef: Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and sauté the onion until fragrant. Next, add the sliced beef and continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink. Then, add the carrot and bell pepper. Stir fry until the vegetables become tender..
11. To assemble the burger: First, cut out a square piece of aluminum foil and fold one corner towards the center. Place 1 rice bun on the aluminum foil..
