    Cozy, rich, and yummy. I made the patties too thick, so next time will be sure to go thinner and/or make more smaller ones and probably would put them back in the sauce to simmer a little at the end (to keep them juicy). I wanted more onion so will use a large one or two medium in future. And agree that the sauce was thin, so would maybe add a bit more cornstarch. Still, even with the minor tweaks, this was another big hit from this book. We loved the egg on top and these went great with leftover Namasu pickles.

    This was really good but really rich. Next time I'd serve with a side of kimchi. Also the 80/20 meat was a bit fatty, I'd go leaner next time.

    The beef took a little longer to cook. The sauce didn't really thicken. But it didn't affect how delicious and flavorful this dish is. Also very easy to make. Love it!

    Definitely Hawaiian comfort food.

    Very yummy, also enjoyed it without the egg too, may add some bread or something to soften the burger part next time since we like our burgers well done.

    This is one of my favorite dishes! Serve with sriracha and pickled vegetables.
