Rice

Gravy

Garnish

Method

Prepare Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Make Beef Patties

  1. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix until just combined, then form into two equal patties.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

Prepare Gravy

  1. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until the gravy thickens.

Fry the Eggs

  1. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble Loco Moco

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, layer a scoop of cooked rice, top with a beef patty, then pour the gravy over the patty. Finally, place the fried egg on top and garnish with sliced green onions and mushrooms.
