「金山タイム」③ 英語圏の文化

9月5日(火)、3回目の金山タイムは、ハワイの「ロコモコ丼」を調理して食べる!です。


ハワイ出身のALTのジャリン先生にとっては「母の味」。

中学生のときに、アメリカンフットボールの大会に向け、体を大きくするためにとにかくたくさん食べないと、と結構食べた思い出の料理だそうです。


日本人にとっては、かなりヘビーな料理になりますが、あくまでも「ハワイでの標準サイズ」をつくりました。


   ・丼の底にはチャーハン(玉ねぎとSPAMが入っています)

   ・チャーハンの上には、①ハンバーグ(ビーフ100%)1ケ

                  ②目玉焼き2ケ

                  ③チキン・カツ(特大)1ケ

                  ④玉ねぎとマッシュルームを炒めたもの

   ・最後に、「グレイビーソース」をかける!(これがないと始まりません!)


「ロコモコ」は、諸説ありますが、ある日本人が始めたのがきっかけで広まったとされる、今ではハワイのソールフードです。

 Loco Moco & Aloha!!!


作り方もけっこう豪快に!です。


Now a word from the local Hawaiian, Jarin. I was really happy that we were given the opprotunity to make one of my favorite dishes back home. Typically, a loco moco is just a rice bowl with hamburger, onions and mushrooms, eggs, and gravy. But with this version, Hawaiian people think this as the Japanese version with the addition of Spam, bacon, and egg fried rice with chicken katsu. For our version, I optted out the addition of bacon because I feel with all the other ingredients may be too heavy for the students' first time eating loco moco. It brought back many nostaglic memories. You can't beat mom's cooking. And when I first took a bite from our proud creation, I teared up as I imagined I was back home at the dinner table with my family. And, as you could guess, I was the first one to finish my loco moco. Akashi sensei was a close second. I was not expecting the students to finish all of their food, but, to my surprise, one boy finished his quite quickly! And slowly but surely, another dramatically finished his an hour later. The rest had to take the rest of their's to-go. At the end of the day, the boys looked so full that they didn't want to stand up. Akashi sensei and I felt the same way. Overall, it was really fun to make and eat this deadly but delicious dish.
