You don’t have to be in Hawaii to enjoy the umami flavor bomb that is Loco Moco, a Hawaiian dish that’s an iconic comfort food in the Aloha State. This super satisfying meal is simple to make and packs a ton of flavor.
Why We Love It
This Loco Moco recipe perfectly represents Hawaiian soul food with four essential elements: rice, a hamburger patty, mushroom gravy, and a sunny-side-up fried egg.
And in the same way “aloha” means both “hello” and “goodbye,” Loco Moco makes for a great breakfast or brunch menu item as well as the perfect late-night chow. Plus, you can mix and match proteins for Loco Moco variations.
In a large bowl, combine the beef, chopped onion, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Form into four patties about ½-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap then transfer to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium until hot. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then add the caramelized onions, beef broth, and Lee Kum Kee Cooking Soy Sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the broth from the skillet and whisk until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Place 1 cup steamed rice on each plate and top each serving with one patty, then the gravy, and a fried egg. Drizzle with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
