A Low Carb Recipe for Loco Moco
On March 6th, on a windy day in Honolulu, Marvin and I tied the knot! During our time in Hawaii, we were treated to a dish with which we were previously unfamiliar - Loco Moco. We liked it so much the first time that we ate it again the following day.

Read on to see our Loco Moco recipe for two.

Traditional Loco Moco, unfortunately, is not terribly healthful, so I made a minor adjustment to cut the carbs a bit. The traditional dish consists of a ground beef patty served over a bed of rice and topped with brown gravy and a fried egg. For my twist on Loco Moco, I substituted quinoa for the typical long grain white rice.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked quinoa
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
2 1/3-pound ground beef patties
1 tsp minced garlic
dash of cayenne
​1 tsp of hamburger seasoning
2 cups brown gravy
1/2 of an onion, diced
2 eggs
red or black pepper, to taste
olive oil, for frying
Prepare your burger patties for your Loco Moco.
1/3-Pound Beef Patty per Person

Directions:

1. Mix Worcestershire and soy sauce into your cooked quinoa.
​2. Mix garlic, cayenne, and hamburger seasoning into the ground beef. Form patties and grill to desired temperature.
3. Prepare your brown gravy. (I cheat and use a gravy packet.)
4. Saute onions till soft. Set aside.
