Loco Moco is a classic Hawaiian comfort food dish that features a savory hamburger patty, a fried egg, and rich gravy all served over a bed of steamed rice. This hearty meal is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Here's how to make it for 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked white rice
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once done, keep it warm.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until it forms a roux. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens.
  5. In a separate skillet, fry the 4 eggs to your desired doneness (sunny side up is traditional).
  6. Divide the cooked rice among 4 plates. Place a hamburger patty on top of the rice on each plate. Pour the gravy over the hamburger patties and rice. Top each patty with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped green onions, if using.

Enjoy your delicious homemade Loco Moco! This dish is a wonderful way to bring a taste of Hawaii to your table. The combination of savory beef, rich gravy, and a runny fried egg over rice is sure to satisfy and delight your taste buds. Aloha!
