Tips and Tricks

  • For a richer flavor, you can use beef chuck instead of ground beef.

  • If you don't have beef broth, you can use chicken broth or water.

  • If you don't have soy sauce, you can use Worcestershire sauce or another type of soy sauce substitute.

  • You can add other vegetables to the beef patty, such as carrots, celery, or mushrooms.

  • You can also add cooked chicken or tofu to the beef patty.

  • To make the loco moco ahead of time, you can assemble the dish up to the point of adding the gravy. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve, reheat the loco moco in a preheated oven until the gravy is heated through.
