Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Butter

  • 1.5 Tbsp butter (or margarine or olive oil – 1 Tbsp for bread, 1/2 Tbsp for omelette, unsalted preferred)
  • 2 white bread slices (or Korean milk bread)
  • 1 tsp sugar (or sugar substitute)

Egg Omelette

  • 2 eggs
  • 3 oz cabbage (thinly sliced, about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 carrot (julienned)
  • 2 green onions (cut diagonally)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

Condiments and Cheese

  • 2 tsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables and Ham: Thinly slice cabbage, julienne carrot, and cut green onions at an angle. Optionally, slice ham into strips if using. In a bowl, combine veggies, ham (if added), and eggs. Season with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Make Butter Toast: Coat both slices of bread evenly with butter. Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low, melt 1/2 the butter, then add bread and press against pan to absorb butter. Add remaining butter, flip bread to coat other side, and toast both sides until golden brown. Remove and sprinkle each slice evenly with about 1/2 tsp sugar.
  3. Make Egg Omelette: In the same frying pan, melt 1.5 to 2 tsp butter or heat oil on medium heat. Pour egg-vegetable mixture into the pan forming a wide rectangular strip roughly bread size. Push excess egg back to center to maintain shape. Once partially cooked, cut the omelette into two squares the size of bread. Lower heat to medium-low, cook until nearly cooked through and slightly browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  4. Assemble Korean Street Toast: Spread ketchup on one sugared toast slice. Place one omelette square on top, then add a slice of cheddar cheese and spread mayonnaise. Add the second omelette square, optionally add another slice of cheese with more mayonnaise and ketchup if desired. Top with the other sugared bread slice, sugared side down, to complete the sandwich.
  5. Serve: Cut sandwich in half if preferred and enjoy warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute white bread with Korean milk bread for a softer texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity on toast to taste for sweetness preference.
  • Omitting cheese still yields a delicious sandwich.
  • Use unsalted butter to control sodium levels better.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit any ham or meat additions.
  • Serve immediately as toast can become soggy if left to sit.
