Think chopped burger, onions, green pepper, bean sprouts, and eggs scrambled hot, served with rice and brown gravy. I tracked it down to the restaurant it was invented in, learn how a regular gave it his name, then take everything home to cook my version. In this video, we’ll learn how Japanese American comfort met Chicago back in the 1920s. If you love loco moco, fried rice, and/or late night diner energy, this one is for you.
