HB-5822 · Hand-built original · Hawaiian
Rice, a beef patty, a fried egg and a flood of gravy — Hawaii's plate-lunch monument.
Main ingredient: beef patty
Pairs well with: macaroni salad, pickles, coleslaw
Ingredients
- 21¼ oz beef mince
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1¾ oz breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 28¼ oz cooked rice
- 4 eggs, fried
- 2 cups beef gravy
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
- spring onions, sliced
Method
- Mix the beef mince with the onion, breadcrumbs, egg and Worcestershire sauce and season well with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 thick patties.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the patties for 5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Pour off most of the fat, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Pour the beef gravy into the same pan with the patties' drippings, bring to a simmer, and stir for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits, until glossy.
- Fry the 4 eggs in a separate pan until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.
- Build each plate in this order, always: a mound of rice, a patty on top, a fried egg on that, then gravy poured over everything. Scatter with spring onions and eat with a spoon and fork.
