Servings servings
Ingredients
- 280 g rice (long-grain)
- 4 eggs
- 2 spring onions (finely chopped, as a garnish)
Hamburgers
- 500 g minced beef
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- oil (for frying)
Gravy
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 400 ml beef stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook 280 g rice according to the instructions on the package and set aside.
- Slice 2 spring onions into thin rings and set aside for garnish.
Cooking
- Mix 500 g minced beef, 1 egg, 2 tbsp breadcrumbs, 1 tsp soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Knead well and form four firm hamburgers.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the hamburgers 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked and brown. Remove them from the pan and keep warm under aluminum foil.
- For the gravy, melt 2 tbsp butter in the same pan. Add 2 tbsp plain flour and stir to form a roux. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until light brown.
- Slowly add 400 ml beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a little oil in a separate frying pan and fry 4 eggs to your liking. Tip: fry the eggs in a layer of oil for a surprising flavour and a crispy edge.
To serve
- Divide the rice over four deep plates. Place a hamburger on each plate, generously pour the gravy over it, and top with a fried egg. Garnish with the finely chopped 2 spring onions.
Notes
Try frying the egg in a little oil. It gives a surprising flavour and a crispy edge that pairs perfectly with the creamy gravy of Loco Moco.
