Get fired up for the start of grilling season with the perfect burger recipe! This Hawaiian Loco Moco is a one-two punch of amazing flavor from a juicy Halal burger patty, a savory sauce, and runny egg all served together over perfectly tender rice for the ultimate comfort food recipe.
I confess, I had never heard of Loco Moco before we made this recipe, but I never miss an opportunity to say how much I love a good comfort food, so I was very excited to try this. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it tastes absolutely amazing and only requires a few easy steps so let’s jump in.
With the warmer weather we were very excited to fire up the grill again, and we went with Midamar’s Halal seasoned beef patties for this recipe. As the name suggests, they come with a bit of seasoning mixed in for just a little extra kick of flavor without you needing to add anything. Then after they’re nice and cooked, we kept ours in the oven just to keep warm while we finish the other steps, but they don’t have to wait long.
We cooked a few cups of white rice, nothing fancy but it serves as the perfect base for this, and while that cooks you can mix together your sauce. It’s a blend of beef stock with a few other savory favorites like soy sauce, Worcestershire, and ketchup. Then it’s simmered till it thickens up a bit and adjusted to your taste with some salt and pepper, it’s super simple and super delicious with the rice and burgers later.
Then it’s just a matter of frying some sunny side up eggs then you’re ready to put it all together, you’re done already! I always love a recipe with a runny egg that I can mix everything together, so this was perfect for me. Top the whole thing with some diced green onion and you can dive in and get juicy burger, runny egg, and the incredibly tasty sauce all together with the rice in every fork-full.
Grilling season has really started off with a bang for us, I absolutely loved this recipe, but don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself. This is a great quick dinner option for busy weeknights that doesn’t skip out on flavor and is sure to please in just a few easy steps.
