Loco Moco Breakfast Bowls are a delicious way to start your weekend! Hearty, flavorful, fresh and spicy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of cilantro lime rice, or any other rice that you like
Burgers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup grated onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Other ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- sliced scallions (green onions)
- Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Make your burger patties: gently combine all burger ingredients and divide into 4 even balls. Press between your palms and flatten until the patties are about 1/2 inch thick. Press your thumb into the middle of each patty to make an indentation. This will prevent the burger from puffing up as it cooks. Sprinkle the tops of the burgers with additional Kosher salt and pepper and set next to the stove on a plate.
- Place 4 shallow, wide bowls (or however many servings you are making) on the counter. Heat your rice in the microwave, then divide evenly between the bowls.
- Heat your cast iron or other non-stick pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add your burgers. Cook them two at a time if you think the pan will get too crowded with four. You want a nice griddled crust on the burger and if you crowd the pan you won’t get that. Let the burgers fry for 3 minutes or so, then flip over to cook for the same amount of time on the other side. If you think they are getting color too quickly, turn down the heat. Place a cooked burger on top of the rice in each of your serving bowls.
- Drain any excess fat from your frying pan. Turn the heat down to medium low. Crack your eggs into the pan and sprinkle them with Kosher salt and pepper. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook for 1-2 minutes, until the egg white is completely cooked, but the egg yolk is still runny. Place a fried egg on top of each burger patty in your serving bowls.
- Now you add your additional toppings. I like to squeeze Sriracha sauce over the top and sprinkle with the sliced green onions. Put half of an avocado, sliced, in each bowl as well. Get ready for a delicious, hearty meal!
Notes
If you are only making one or two breakfast bowls, freeze the other uncooked burger patties and then they will be ready to go the next time you get a hankering for a Loco Moco!
Both the rice and the uncooked burger patties can be made the day before.
