Loco Moco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Loco Moco is a dish unique to Hawaiian cuisine. There are many variations, but the essential loco moco consists of white rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and brown gravy. Variations may include bacon, ham, Spam, kalua pork, Portuguese sausage, teriyaki beef, teriyaki chicken, mahi-mahi, shrimp, and other meats.
Loco Moco can be found in various forms on most any Pacific Island from Hawaii to Samoa to Guam and Saipan. Many places add macaroni as a side but the main dish of rice and a fried egg with some kind of local meat seems to be consistent.
Loco Moco is also the name of an American restaurant chain featuring Hawaiian rice bowl dishes.
