Gilgeori Toast Korean Street Toast With Cabbage And Egg Recipes

GILGEORI TOAST (KOREAN STREET TOAST WITH CABBAGE AND EGG)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, scallions, salt and pepper. Massage the vegetable mixture for 30 seconds, squeezing to tenderize. Crack in the egg and mix well.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Place both slices of the bread on the pan, moving them around to soak up all the melted butter on one side, and toast until golden-brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet, and flip the bread to soak up the butter and to toast on the other side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle the top of each toast with 1/2 teaspoon sugar or slather the top of each with 1 teaspoon jam.
• In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture, and use one spatula in each hand to shape and hold it as it cooks to match the size of your bread. Cook the cabbage mixture just until it turns slightly golden underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the mixture, top with ham and cheese, if using, and cook until the other side is golden underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the cabbage mixture to one piece of sweetened toast. Top with ketchup and mayonnaise to taste, and add the remaining slice of bread, sweetened side down. Serve immediately, sliced in half if desired.

Steps:

• Break eggs into a bowl with salt.
• Add sliced carrots and cabbage to the bowl with the eggs and mix well.
• Add the oil to a pre-heated pan and add the egg mixture. Using a spatula, divide the mixture in two and work to form each half into the shape of the bread slices. When firm enough to hold, flip each half over to cook on the other side - about 2 - 21/2 minutes per side. Remove when done and keep warm.
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in the pan. Add two slices of bread to the melted butter and toast the bread until lightly browned, flipping the bread to toast the other side. Remove to a plate and sprinkle a little sugar on the warm toasted bread. Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread.
• To assemble the street toast sandwiches, top one slice of toasted bread with one of the cooked egg sections. Layer one half of the sliced cucumber on top of the egg.
