Method

Rice Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-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 an additional 5 minutes.

Beef Patties

  1. 2

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into four equal patties.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and 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.

Gravy

  1. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet used for the patties, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until lightly browned. Gradually add the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Eggs

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook to your desired level of doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.), about 3-4 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Loco Moco

    On a plate, place a serving of rice, top it with a beef patty, pour the gravy over the patty, and finally place a fried egg on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
