When it comes to local Hawaii comfort food, there are few dishes more iconic than Loco Moco: a hearty burger patty served over rice, smothered with beef gravy, & topped with a fried egg. This classic Hawaii diner staple is so well-loved – by locals & visitors alike! – that you can find versions of it everywhere from drive-ins to fine dining restaurants. This particular recipe comes to us from my mom, who was born & raised in Honolulu. It stays pretty true to classic versions you'll find in Hawaii, consisting of 3 easy-to-make components: Burger patties, which Mom makes using simple ingredients & pan-fries in a cast iron skillet to build epic flavor, Loco moco gravy, a quick pan sauce that we make extra-hearty with the addition of thinly sliced mushrooms & sweet onions, & Sunnyside up eggs, whose runny yolks ooze into the rest of the loco moco as you slice into it – the perfect finishing touch! Be sure to check out the blog post, above, to learn more about the origins of this iconic dish & the beauty of the local Hawaii food scene! It’s something I’ve enjoyed my entire life & it’s so exciting to share with you here on PWWB. ♡ Happy cooking!
