I've been trying to figure out how the cooks at restaurants and food truck make it for the last 30 years but it never comes out the way they make it. It's served with Hawaiian fried rice. I suppose the cook could have made it a little more presentable. It tasted great though. I was happy.

I used to eat at a lunch wagon in the late 80's and would grill the cook frequently about his methods. He'd give me the info but my stuff never came out like his stuff. On this rock, we got a lot of ways to cook a piece of meat because we get a choice of Chinese, Hawaiian, American, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Puerto Rican. There's not much German cooking going on though.
