The ultimate Hawaiian plate lunch: rice topped with a juicy burger patty, rich onion gravy and a runny fried egg.

Ingredients

• 1⅓ lb ground beef

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1½ cups rice
• green onions
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

From your pantry: 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp Worcestershire, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp oil.

2. In the same pan, cook the onion in the butter until golden, 6 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the broth, soy and Worcestershire. Simmer until thick, 3 minutes. Season.

5. Layer rice, a patty, plenty of gravy and an egg. Top with green onions.

Tip: Serve with a scoop of macaroni salad for the full plate-lunch experience.
