Instructions
- Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water. Combine rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the instructions of the rice cooker or bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Make the hamburger patties: In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 4 patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the eggs: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are runny, or to your desired doneness.
- Make the gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth, water, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Stir until the gravy thickens.
- Assemble the Loco Moco: Scoop rice into bowls, place a hamburger patty over each, top with a fried egg, and generously cover with gravy.
