Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse 2 cups of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of soy sauce, minced garlic cloves, and the chicken thighs. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Macaroni Salad

    In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of macaroni salad with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of ketchup. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

  2. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick pan, crack the 2 eggs and cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the lettuce and slice the tomato. Set aside for serving.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Loco Plate

    On a large plate, place a serving of rice, topped with sliced chicken. Add a portion of macaroni salad on the side, along with the chopped lettuce and tomato. Top the rice and chicken with the fried egg and garnish with chopped green onions.
