Pictorial: Loco Moco!

(hawaiian cuisine: rice bowl with beef patty, fried egg and brown gravy)[1]

main ingredients:

120 G ground beef (~1/4 pound)
1 CUP cooked short grain rice
1 X egg
1/2 TSP salt (to taste)
1/2 TSP black pepper (to taste)

brown gravy ingredients:

1 CUP water
1 TBSP flour
2 TBSP ketchup
1/4 TSP salt (to taste)
1/4 TSP black pepper (to taste)

cook the rice, start the Loco Moco cooking when the rice is ready,
season ground beef with salt and pepper



form a patty (I like flat/large patties, so a piece of tin foil is handy
since the meat is shrinking by pulling together while frying, the tin foil
helps to form a flat patty while giving support to it, the patty is easier
to handle that way)



lightly oil a pan, heat it up, add the patty when the oil is smoking



fry according to personal preference, the brown bits in the pan are
nothing to worry about, it's pure beef flavour and the base of the gravy



park the patty in a bowl of rice, lower the heat of the patty pan,
heat another pan, crack an egg into it, fry to personal preference



cover the bowl with a plate (the patty will rest for a moment while getting juicy again),
add flour to the patty pan and brown it a little, stir well, add pepper & ketchup & water,
stir vigorously with a wire whisk until smooth, season to taste with salt when the gravy thickened



place the fried egg on top of the patty and pour the hot gravy over them, enjoy
