Loco Moco

August 13, 2011 6 Comments

Two of my college friends got married in Hawaii recently. (I know. So jealous.) Sadly, I wasn’t invited to the wedding — ahem, Sonia — but I’ve been facebook stalking the photo albums of the people who went, so it kind of feels like I was there too. Note to self: must go to Hawaii soon.
From what I can tell, when the wedding guests weren’t watching the two love birds join in holy matrimony, they were stuffing their faces with yummy Hawaiian food. Everything looked delicious, but it was the pictures of loco moco that really had me drooling. Rice, gravy, hamburger, and a fried egg? I’m so there!

The ingredients for loco mocos are simple, the recipe is straightforward, and I was chowing down on a delicious Hawaiian meal in less than 45 minutes. The only way I could have enjoyed this more is if I were eating it in Hawaii. Sigh. (Just kidding — congratulations, Sonia and Kevin!)

Recipe can be found here, courtesy of the Jun-blog.
** Note: I thought plain ol’ meat gravy would be too boring, so I made a cream-based mushroom gravy instead. Super delicious!

    I love this dish! I love it even more because 'Loco Moco', if you read in Spanish, it literally translates to 'crazy booger'. I get a kick every time I hear someone say it.
