Recipes Main Dishes Burger Recipes Hamburgers Chef John's Loco Moco 4.8 (54) 45 Reviews 21 Photos This loco moco is an amazing Hawaiian comfort food classic made by topping rice with a fried burger, which is then smothered with a rich, brown gravy and finished with a fried egg. Seriously, how did it take until 1949 for someone to think of this combination? Sometimes, we all get hangry, so this cheap, filling bowl of goodness is the perfect solution, whether you're a broke student or an older professional who wishes you were. Garnish with green onions.

Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot skillet until the bottoms are nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip patties; add green onions and cook until both beef and onions are browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove patties and most of green onions to a plate. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Pour beef stock mixture into the skillet. Stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and reserve gravy until needed. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Melt remaining butter in another skillet over medium heat. Add eggs to the skillet and fry side-by-side until whites are set and yolks are still runny. Divide rice between 2 serving bowls. Place patties over rice, spoon gravy on top, and add fried eggs. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Serve hot and enjoy! DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS Chef's Notes I recommend using a thin 4-ounce patty because it's easier to eat and provides a better beef-to-rice-to-gravy ratio.A beef patty is commonly used in this dish, but SPAM, roast pork, and seafood are also used.
