Loco Moco Recipe

Ingredients:

– **1 lb ground beef** (for the patties)
– **1/2 small onion**, finely chopped
– **2 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1/4 cup breadcrumbs**
– **1 egg** (for the patties)
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **2 cups cooked white rice**
– **2-4 eggs** (fried, one per serving)

For the Gravy:

– **2 tablespoons butter**
– **2 tablespoons flour**
– **2 cups beef broth**
– **1 tablespoon soy sauce**
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste

Instructions:

1. **Make the hamburger patties:**
– In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, salt, and pepper.
– Mix until well combined and shape into 2-4 patties, depending on your preferred size.
– Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
– Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

2. **Prepare the gravy:**
– In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
– Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
– Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil.
– Reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. **Cook the eggs:**
– In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny side up is traditional for Loco Moco).

4. **Assemble the Loco Moco:**
– Place a serving of cooked white rice on each plate.
– Top the rice with a hamburger patty.
– Pour the brown gravy generously over the patty and rice.
– Place a fried egg on top of the patty.
– Garnish with chopped green onions.

5. **Serve immediately:**
– Enjoy your homemade Loco Moco while it’s hot!

Tips:

– You can customize your Loco Moco by adding sautéed mushrooms or onions to the gravy.
– For a spicier version, try adding a dash of hot sauce or sriracha to the gravy.
