Equipment

Ingredients
Gravy
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 ½ cup beef broth
- ½ tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. ketchup optional
- 2 pcs. mushrooms
- ½ cup onion chopped

Rice
- 2 cups rice preferably short-medium grain
- ½ cup chicken broth
Eggs
- 3-4 pcs. eggs large
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 sprig parsley topping option
- 1 pc. tomato topping option
Instructions
- Combine ground beef with the Worcestershire sauce. Shape the ground beef gently, preferably into 3 to 4 patties.
- Season with salt and pepper. Put it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for up to half an hour.
- In the meantime, heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add sliced mushrooms, and chopped onions. Sauté for a few minutes, until translucent.
- Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low.
- If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can also mix ketchup with soy sauce as a substitute.
- In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with water. Add the paste to the gravy sauce, and stir well.
- Season it with salt and pepper.
- For preparing the rice, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a pan, preferably on medium or high heat.
- Add rice into the broth and stir well. Reduce the heat to low, and cook for approximately 20- 25 minutes.
- Heat a large enough pan and add 1 tbsp. vegetable oil, and cook the patties until they turn brown. Make sure you cook both sides evenly.
- In another pan, warm canola oil, crack 3 or 4 large eggs and cook them sunny-side-up, which should take about 5 minutes.
- To serve, first put the rice, then add the patties above. Pour the gravy sauce, and complete with putting the eggs on top.
- We recommend using parsley and/or tomatoes as toppings.

Notes
- The burger patty — When you are on the look for the perfect ground beef, you should look at the meat-to-fat ratio. For a mouth-watering experience, we strongly recommend going with a ratio of 80% meat and 20% fat. 85/15 will do the job too, but make sure that your meat is at least 80% lean. You can always substitute ground beef with ground turkey or ground pork, if necessary, although it wouldn’t be ideal.
- The rice — One of the many great things about our loco moco recipe is that it allows great flexibility, and this goes for the rice, too. If keeping it original and authentic is not high on your list, you can always use brown rice. However, if you’ve decided to opt for white rice, we strongly recommend using short or medium-grain rice. The shorter grain is, the higher the starch content of the rice, which helps save its form. Although our loco moco recipe advocated boiling the rice, you can also use a rice cooker.
