Prepare the stock. Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the rice. Slice the onion into thin half rings and crush or mince the garlic. Slice the mushrooms and dice the Romano pepper.
Did you know... mushrooms are high in phosphorus, which works with calcium to strengthen bones and teeth. Phosphorus is mainly found in meat, fish and dairy, but along with mushrooms there are also other plant-based sources such as pulses and wholegrains.
Boil the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic and onion for 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and Romano Pepper and fry for 4 - 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the stock with the tomato paste, ketjap, flour, sugar and soy sauce. Transfer this to the vegetables and mix well, then bring to the boil. Allow to reduce over low heat for 5 - 8 minutes, stirring regularly. When it starts sticking to the spoon, it's done.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in another frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the burger for 2 - 3 minutes per side or until done. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and keep warm under aluminium foil.
Fry the egg in the same pan (see Tip).
Tip: add a small knob of butter as necessary if there isn't enough oil left in the pan.
Serve the rice and burgers on plates. Top with the sticky vegetables and the fried egg.
