Discovering the Rice Burger
A rice burger is a unique kind of sandwich where the usual bread buns are replaced with patties made from cooked, pressed rice. These rice patties hold together the delicious fillings, just like bread buns do for a traditional burger. It's a popular food item, especially in parts of East Asia.
Where Did Rice Burgers Come From?
The idea for the rice burger first came to life in Japan. It was introduced by a fast-food restaurant chain called MOS Burger. They launched their first rice burger in 1987. Since then, this creative burger has become a very popular food choice across many countries in East Asia.
Rice Burgers Around Asia
The popularity of rice burgers quickly spread beyond Japan. Around 2005, even McDonald's started offering rice burgers in some of its restaurants in Asian countries. While not every location kept them, it showed how much interest there was in this unique meal.
In South Korea, rice burgers are known by a special name: "bapburgers." The word "bap" or "bab" means "rice" in the Korean language. These Korean-style rice burgers often have exciting fillings. Some popular choices include spicy Stir-fried kimchi or a tasty mix of tuna with mayonnaise.
