    Rice cookerpot (optional for boiling)
  2. 2

    Cook the Hamburger Patties

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the hamburger patties (2 patties) for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

    For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and pepper to the patties before cooking.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In the same skillet, fry the eggs (2 eggs) to your liking. Over easy is traditional, so the yolk runs over the rice.

    Use a non-stick skillet for easy egg removal.

    Assemble the Loco Moco

    Divide the white rice between two plates. Top each with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and generously pour the warm brown gravy over the top.

    Garnish with green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
