For the Rice

Method

Prepare the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Make the Hamburger Patties

  1. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Fry the Eggs

  1. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.). This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Make the Brown Gravy

  1. 5

    Prepare the Gravy

    In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

Assemble the Loco Moco

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon a generous amount of cooked rice onto a plate. Place one hamburger patty on top of the rice, followed by the second hamburger patty. Top with the fried eggs and pour the brown gravy over everything. Serve immediately.
