- 1/2 cup panko (asian breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 cup onion (minced, sweet onion preferred)
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Method of preparation:
Cook the rice: Start by cooking the white rice according to the packet instructions.
Make the patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef, panko, chopped onion, beaten egg, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Form 4 patties.
Fry the patties: Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the patties until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the gravy: In the same frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute to form a roux. Gradually add the beef stock and 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fry the eggs: In a separate frying pan, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
Assemble the loco moco: Place a scoop of rice on each plate, top with a beef patty, pour over the gravy and top with a fried egg.
Serve: Serve your Loco Moco hot, with extra salt and pepper to taste.
