[Food] Loco Moco

◤─────•~❉✿❉~•─────◥

Here's a Hawaiian dish I've started making quite a bit since discovering it, the Loco Moco!


Ingredients (For 2 Servings):
  • 1.5 Cups Uncooked White Rice
  • 1 Cup Mushroom Gravy
  • 6 Button Mushrooms, Sliced
  • 2 Burgers
(Optional Ingredients)
  • Furikake Seasoning
  • 1/2 an Onion, Sliced or Diced
  • 1 Green Onion, Sliced
The ingredients of "mushroom gravy" and "burgers" are vague because these can be made in as intricate or fast a way as needed, and while beef burgers are the typical burger used, if you want to use a veggie burger, or some other type of burger, who am I to stop you? Seasonings also can be altered: when I make my own burgers, I typically only use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
For this loco moco, I went pretty low-effort: frozen burger patties steamed then fried in butter, and then a powdered McCormick mushroom gravy mix.

Steps:
  1. Cook the rice. I use a rice cooker, but of course there are other ways to do this. For 2 servings, I use 1.5 cups uncooked rice, to make 3 cups of cooked rice. Once the rice is done, add furikake if you have it.
  2. While the rice is cooking, cook your burgers in a high-rimmed pan or pot. This is so the burger juices can be used in making the gravy!
  3. When the burgers are completely cooked, take them out and let them rest on a paper-towel lined plate.
  4. In the same pan/pot, sautee your mushrooms, and onion if you have it. Keeping these in the pan, make your gravy.
  5. In a clean pan, fry two eggs, over-easy. (Can do over-hard if you don't like runny yolk, but I will judge you, as the runny yolk adds great depth of flavor!)
  6. Assemble your loco moco: rice, burger patty, egg, then mushroom gravy (and green onions on top for garnish if you have 'em)!
Funnily enough, this is a favorite of my roommate as well. Which I did not expect when I first made it, as he is not a huge fan of eggs or brown gravy. But after that first time I made it, it's been requested multiple times since! It's so hearty and filling.
