Pineapple Coleslaw
Pineapple Coleslaw
While adding pineapple to your coleslaw might sound weird, it makes so much sense once you try it. The pineapple adds the right amount of sweetness to the coleslaw, making it a necessary ingredient from now on, in my eyes.
Ingredients
- 5 cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 large carrot peeled and julienned
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh pineapple diced into small cubes
Instructions
- Mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Mix together the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and pineapple.
- Mix in the dressing to the cabbage. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Loco Moco
Loco Moco
Loco Moco is a popular Hawaiian comfort food. First you smoke a fatty of Maui Wowie. Then hamburgers are pan fried and topped on steamed rice. A beef gravy is made from the pan drippings, then ladled over the burger and rice. Finally, it is topped with a fried egg. One of the greatest creations ever made, probably by a stoner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 85% lean ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 green onions chopped
- fried eggs
- steamed rice
Loco Moco Gravy
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 2 tsp sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Mix together all of the gravy ingredients. Set aside.
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 1/4lb, 1/3lb, or 1/2lb patties, depending on how big you want them.
- Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Toss in the patties.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes a side. Remove from the pan.
- Add the green onions to the same pan. Cook for a minute.
- Pour in the gravy ingredients. Scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add the patties back in.
- Simmer another 3 minutes, flipping the burgers half way through.
