Loco Moco

Loco Moco is a Hawaiian staple. I recently had the luxury to visit my auntie in Maui and you can find this dish at many mom and pop shops. It is super hearty, homestyle, and comforting. I love how the gravy is the perfect “sauce” to mix in with the rice and perfect paired with the hearty hamburger patties.

I love the gravy because it provides a salty balance when eaten with the hot rice. The rice is fairly neutral, so the rich egg and gravy provide a nice texture and flavor to the rice. I like to cook my patties at a nice medium rare.

my secret to this dish is to add some worcestershire sauce for a slight tang and savory bite. In addition, I add my own garlic oil sauce which you can find here. I promise if you give this recipe a try your family will be so satisfied and understand how island grims truly taste.
