Savor the taste of aloha with The Ultimate Hawaiian Loco Moco! Juicy beef patties atop fluffy jasmine rice, all smothered in a savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups brown gravy
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into four equal patties.
  3. Step 3: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: In another skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5: To assemble the loco moco, place a scoop of cooked rice on each plate, top with a beef patty, pour hot brown gravy over the patty and rice, and finish with a fried egg on top. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For optimal storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best to store the components separately to maintain their textures. When reheating, gently warm the rice and beef patties in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water to prevent them from drying out, and reheat the gravy separately for best results. To serve your loco moco like a pro, consider adding a side of fresh pineapple or a light salad to balance the richness of the dish and enhance that tropical vibe. For an extra flavor boost, mix grated fresh ginger into the ground beef mixture; it adds a delightful zing that complements the savory elements beautifully.
