Rice

Gravy

Protein

Eggs

Garnish (optional)

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of white rice along with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

Making Gravy

  1. 2

    Prepare the Brown Gravy

    In a small saucepan, mix the brown gravy mix with 2 cups of water. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally to avoid lumps.

Cooking Protein

  1. 3

    Cook the Spam or Ground Beef

    If using Spam, slice it into thick pieces and fry in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. If using ground beef, cook it in the skillet until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Frying Eggs

  1. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In the same skillet, crack 2 large eggs and cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.) over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Loco Moco

    On a plate, layer the cooked rice, then top with the fried Spam or ground beef. Place the fried eggs on top of the meat and generously pour the brown gravy over everything. Garnish with chopped green onions and drizzle with soy sauce if desired.
