Why is it working
- Adding the Panko bread crumbs to a mixture of ground beef helps to connect the ingredients, so the thin patties retain their shape after cooked.
- The corn starch thickens the sauce and creates an attractive bright light.
- Preparation of sauce with boxing beef sets the food's signature tastes.
LOCO MOCO is as comforting as comfort foods. The beloved Hawaii dish consists of a ground beef tower served on top of a pile of white rice, suppressed with onion with onion and crispy fried eggs on top. I mean, aren't you almost full if you read this description alone?!
People in Hawaii enjoy this hearty food for breakfast, lunch, dinner or at any time between them. And while some restaurants and home chefs can make spam, fish or seafood variations instead of hamburger patty, the name Loco moco is only for the hamburger patties. When the protein changes, the name changes – spam loco, shrimp Loco and so on.

The origin of LOCO MOCO
According to Rachel Lauden's book Food of Paradise: Exploration of Hawaii's Culinary Heritage, The vessel was said to be created in 1949 at the Hawaiii Hilo Lincoln Grill restaurant, Richard Inouye and his wife Nancy. Local teenagers called for something important, but they called for a distress for others than the typical American sandwiches.
According to reports, these teenagers also chose his name: Loco was the first boy's nickname to try it (Loco means crazy Spanish and Hawaii Pidgin), and Moco's teens because it sounded rhyming and fun. The first bite was for almost everyone who tried it, and the popularity of the food on the Hawaiian islands as a satisfactory, filling, easy -to -make meal over the years.
How to Make Great Loco Moco at home
In the recipe below, my Birmingham, my Alabama -based Test Kitchen colleague Renu Dhar Share the version of this popular Hawaiian staple, which provides the classic and soothing home -made taste of LOCO MOCO. LOCO MOCO is a mixture of ground beef mixture of worcestershire sauce and garlic powder for a delicious blow and Panko impressions to help you connect the delicious meat mixture. The mixture is converted into thin patties, which are briefly made until they are browned and set aside before the umami-rich sauce is built in the frying beef fat.

The secret of Loco Moco Gravy as the earliest possible? Board of boxes bought in shop. Yes, you heard well. Now we usually have a rule against use in serious meals shop bought beef or broth Since its taste is usually lower than homemade kits, but Renu wants to hear him: in his research, he found that the boxed set flavor is a critical element in Loco Moco's unique taste profile. “The islands need to be done,” he says. LOCO MOCO GRAVY should not taste like a trap of beef. It was intended to taste a tasteful, so the added MSG, hydrolyzed proteins and onion powder often added the boxed beef and the broth to improve the taste of this sauce.
The sauce ingredients are briefly evaporated until it thickens and shiny before they are placed in the pan into the pan to complete the sauce cooking. At this point, it's time to upload the disc and block everything. Start with a hill rice that fixes the hamburger patty and fried eggs in place. After filling the rice with the beef and then with a fried egg, finish the dish with a too generous sauce. You have to stick to the egg and beef and slide over before bouncing and soaking into the rice. The result is a shiny, gloriously delicious plate of beautiful brown food. Really the best comfortable food.
