Loco Moco

This is Hawaiian comfort food without the Spam – a favorite for a working person’s lunch. There are lots of versions of this dish, but I kept it more comfort and less gourmet.  I best describe this as Salisbury steak with an Asian twist.  Savory gravy, runny egg yolk, beefy patty all on a bed of rice.  I hope you like it.
