Loco Moco Ingredients

Method

Loco Moco Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet, cook the ground beef (or your choice of protein) over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the beef broth and soy sauce, bringing it to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth. Stir this mixture into the gravy and cook until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Loco Moco

    On a plate, layer the cooked rice, followed by the cooked protein, then pour the gravy over the top. Finally, place a fried egg on top and garnish with chopped green onions.
