Aloha. This past Friday, Travel Channel aired a rerun of “Man Vs Food” Hawaii (Recap here). The episode brought back memories of my last 2 trips to Hawaii and the grinds (local Hawaiian food). One of my favorite dishes is the Loco Moco plate lunch. Loco Moco is basically an oh-so-good dish made up of hamburger patties, eggs and rice smothered with hot gravy. Here’s my recipe (nothing special):
Loco Moco for 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 – 1/3 lb lean ground beef
- 4 eggs
- 1 jar of gravy (Heinz is the brand I use)
- Rice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Heat a cast iron skillet (or pan) over Medium-High heat. While the pan is heating, shape the beef into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties to your liking, and set aside when done
- Cook the eggs (sunny side up, or over easy)
- Heat the gravy in a small saucepan
- Assemble this dish by putting a bed of cooked rice in a large bowl or plate. Top the rice with 2 hamburger patties, 2 fried eggs, and 1 to 2 ladles of hot gravy.
Alternate seasoning for hamburger patties – Add minced onion and garlic and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the beef, then shape the patties.
