PORK HASH LOCO MOCO WITH SNEAKY FRIED RICE

For Pork Hash:

* 2 cups diced slow-roasted pork butt (pork butt crusted with garlic, Hawaiian salt and black pepper), slow roasted at 300 degrees for four to five hours or until fork-tender

* 4 cups boiled potatoes, lightly smashed

* 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Sauté all of the above and add 4 cups cooked brown rice (refrigerated and separated) oyster sauce, shoyu and Sriracha chili sauce, to taste.

Assemble with the fried rice on the bottom and the hash on top. Drizzle with some of your favorite brown gravy recipe and top it off with an over-easy or sunnyside-up egg.

Add your roast pork hash and eggs to the fried rice.
