You can also vary the doneness of your fried eggs to your liking, from over easy to sunny side up.
This hearty Loco Moco is ideal for a satisfying brunch, a comforting weeknight dinner, or anytime you're in the mood for a taste of Hawaiian comfort. Serve it simply in a bowl, allowing each component to shine.
