Loco moco is, like, the Hawai’ian analogue to poutine: something so brilliant cardiologists must have invented it for job security.
Technicalities!
What? twenty-odd posts and nary a Monty Python reference?
Bloody vikings…
:eek:
Typically, here, we slice the can of SPAM into 9 to 13 slices.
You must really like SPAM.
Teriyaki is optionally, but teriyaki nori makes it better. Takuan is my preferred option.
A related dish (well, not really), General Tso’s Spam.
Fry Spam cubes and coat in General Tso’s sauce, serve over rice. Man o man. I used to be able to buy Iron Chef brand General Tso’s sauce, but the store that carried it closed down. I like it even though I wasn’t expecting much from a “show” brand, I see I can still buy it online.
A buddy won a Spam recipe contest with his Spam Fajitas, I had them but don’t have the recipe.
Okay, against the advice of my arteries I had loco moco for lunch today.
Eh. It wasn’t bad. Pretty bland, though. Could’ve used some Srirachi sauce or something. I may try it again sometime in the future, but not at this place. They have other things that taste better.
We may be talking about different-sized cans. I don’t think I could make the slices thinner; they’re about 1/8" thick. The can I use is about 2" high.
Working in our copying department are three people of Pacific Island heritage. Once in awhile I make a big batch of Spam musubi and bring them in for them, because they do a good job and I like to share. On these occasions, a couple of musubi virgins will often try one and immediately become addicted. It’s funny to see them change from “Spam? Yuck!” to “OMG, that stuff’s so good! What did you call it again?”
OH Yeah!!!
You prolly don’t have a sharp knife.
Which way are you two slicing it, lengthwise or across?
Lengthwise. Lay the Spam “brick” on its side, and slice into six equal lengthwise slices. This is easier said than done. A clump of Spam is usually a bit lopsided and the last slice or two comes out unequal.
