Chicken Katsu Rice Burger

Burger = Burger Bun + Meat. Period.

That is until I went to Taiwan and walked into a Mos Burger for the first time in my life.

Mos Burger is a fast food restaurant chain originated from Japan. They serve regular burgers like other fast food restaurants. However, there is one thing that differentiates them from the others.

Rice burgers.

Yup. You heard me right. RICE burgers.

Instead of a wheat-based bun, grilled or pan fried rice patties are used instead.


The closest Mos Bugers to L.A. is Hawaii. So to satisfy any form of Mos Burger craving, I’d either have to fly there (which sounds like an awfully brilliant idea) or replicate ’em at home. The latter seems more realistic.

Mos burger uses a mixture of rice, millet and barley for the rice patties to stay intact. I found that using rice alone to be sufficient. Specifically, short grain Japanese rice or sushi rice. Like onigiri (Japanese rice ball). The stickiness and chewiness of this type of rice is perfect for making rice patties. Long grain rice WILL NOT work because it’s usually fluffy and doesn’t clump together.
