I was thinking about improvising on a classic dish from Hawaii that I was craving, "loco moco", but why ruin a good thing? I appreciate moderation in all things and decided to focus on the positives as I prepared this tonight:
-You start with two scoops of rice, my scoops were really small (portion control, important). Rice is steamed with no added fat or sodium and per the package it's "extra fancy"!
-Hamburger was grilled and cooked to a safe internal temperature, you could sub a turkey burger or veggie burger I suppose. The burger provides tons of protein!
-The gravy has no MSG or artificial flavors and is made with natural spices.
-Eggs are noted as "quality" on the carton. So I used one "quality" egg adding more protein turning this into an official high protein meal
-And last but not least, the green onion came from my garden supporting sustainability and self reliance :)
I ended up with a delicious, reminds you of home (if you're from Hawaii) dinner (though in Hawaii it's most enjoyed at breakfast..this supports my affinity for savory breakfasts).
Would I make this daily? No, but for tonight I felt like a I was back on Kauai enjoying some ono grinds!
