Ever had a "Loco Moco" Dish?

[palehorse89]

My buddy came back from a vacation in Hawaii and made this dish for us one day.......WOW ....delicious!

Here’s an easy way to make a quick and yummy loco moco, the classic Hawaiian soulfood consisting of 4 components: hamburger patty, rice, egg, and brown gravy.



Ingredients for 2 big servings:

• Hamburger Patties
  • 1lb Hamburger (not lean)
  • 1/4 cup grated onions (optional)
  • salt/pepper to taste
• Gravy
  • 1 can good beef broth
  • flour for thickening
  • 1 tb butter
  • couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 4 eggs
• hot cooked white rice

Burgers:
1. Gently mix the hamburger, grated onions and salt/pepper. Form either 2 big patties or 4 smaller size patties.
2. Heat frying pan until very hot.
3. Place hamburger patties on the pan/grill and let sear just until juices start appearing on the top. Flip over and cook for a couple more minutes. You will want the burger slightly charred but still tender on the inside.
4. Place burgers on the side.
Gravy:
1. Pour a little broth into the same pan and incorporate the yumyums, then pour in the rest of the broth.
2. Bring to a boil and let reduce for about 3-5 minutes or so, depending on taste, for a more potent gravy.
3. Turn down heat to a simmer.
4. Add couple dashes of worcestershire sauce.
5. In a seperate bowl, mix flour with some water.
6. Using a whisk, slowly whisk in the flour/water mixture until gravy is nicely thick & smooth.
7. Turn off heat and mix in the butter until well blended.
Eggs:
Traditionally, the eggs should be sunny-side up. The secret to a good fried egg is to fry the egg slowly on low heat until it’s cooked… just don’t overcook it! It also helps to have the eggs thawed to room temperature before cooking them.
Rice:
Use regular medium grain white rice… like 3 scoops worth per plate.

Oh yah, Loco Moco is a long time standard for breakfast in the Islands.

Sounds like your buddy did it right...
...but be warned, Loco Moco will never be on the low calorie menu

Safe travels

He made it at work one day after returing from vacation, we ate at 9am on our break, I was full 1/2 of the way through the plate, but could not stop eating, I would stop and look at it, look around the table at the others, and they were doing the same thing, and then we all would go back at it........Shoveling! and when the silverware stopped clanking on the plates..............all were clean! We did not do much the rest of the day

Heart attack on a plate!!
My Dr. put me on a simple diet. IF IT TASTES GOOD, SPIT IT OUT

That looks great, DW say's I can have it if I eat salads the rest of the week, sounds like a fair trade.

At least she did not threaten to take your "Fish burrito's" away sounds like a fair trade to me also........ This would be great on a Sunday morning

You need a little grease for wheels every now and then.

Fish Burrito's are here to stay!! Lucky for me that I like salad and that DW let's me trade for the food I want sometimes. it's one of the big changes in retirement that I had not thought of, when I was working, there were all kinds of business lunches and dinners where she never saw what I was eating, now that I'm home, it's like having my own personal dietician, 24/7, 365, from here on out!!
