Description
Loco Moco is a Hawaiian comfort dish featuring a hamburger patty topped with a fried egg and gravy, served over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium sweet onion (optional)
- 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- Green onions for garnish
- Cooked rice, as needed
- 1 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 4 tsp shoyu (soy sauce)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 5 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined. Form into thick patties, making sure to smooth the edges to prevent cracking.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and fry each patty for 3–5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together beef stock, shoyu, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch until fully combined and set aside.
- Using the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onions and sauté for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes until softened.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan and pour in the gravy mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and begins to simmer.
- In a separate frying pan, melt a little butter and crack in the egg. Cook sunny-side-up or to your liking, then set aside.
- On a plate, add a scoop of hot white rice, place one hamburger patty on top, then generously spoon over the gravy. Finish with the fried egg and garnish with green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Loco Moco pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit salad or a simple green salad. Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
