Loco Moco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sofrito Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of sofrito rice with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Hamburger Patty

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Form the ground beef into a patty and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Once the skillet is hot, place the patty in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

3. 3

   Prepare the Gravy

   In the same skillet used for the hamburger patty, reduce the heat to medium and add the brown gravy. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, you may add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

4. 4

   Cook the Eggs

   In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to your liking (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled). This will take about 2-4 minutes depending on your preference.

5. 5

   Assemble the Loco Moco

   On a plate, start with a base of sofrito rice. Place the cooked hamburger patty on top of the rice. Pour the hot brown gravy over the patty and rice, then top with the cooked eggs. Serve immediately.
