Korean Street Toast by Korean Actor Cha Seung Won

A rendition of Korean Street Toast with a special twist. Enjoy this sweet and salty simple egg omelette, creamy cabbage, and jam sandwiched between two fluffy buttered toasts.

Cha Seung Won is a popular Korean actor who’s also been on various TV reality shows and gained popularity due to his humor but mostly because of his cooking skills! It’s been awhile since his latest rendition of “Three Meals a Days” but he’s back with a new TV show called “the Korean Hostel in Spain”. In celebration of this, I’m throwing back to one of his older recipes on “Three Meals a Day”. A simple toast sandwich similar to a Korean Street Toast but with an added touch from Cha Seung Won!

This past weekend, DrJuh was on call which means he was running around. I usually like to bake some scones or at least pack a PB&J for when he’s running out in the morning unexpectedly because if not, he’ll probably skip a meal and devour McDonalds. I am not always this caring but it was 9pm on Saturday night and he was still at the hospital and I knew he’d be rushing out Sunday morning so I made him this toast. It was really good! Koreans really love their sweetness in these egg toasts, but it works! 

No wonder they call him “cha-jumma” – a nickname that comes from the original word “ahjumma”  meaning “aunt” or “lady”. I’ll be excited to try out more of his recipes that I’m sure will start airing in his new show! Until then, try this out and enjoy!

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bread, I prefer fluffy milk bread for this sandwich
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp strawberry jam (½ Tbsp per sandwich)

Cabbage Salad

• 2 cups cabbage, sliced thinly   
• 3 Tbsp ketchup
• 2 Tbsp Japanese mayonnaise

Egg Mixture

• 3 eggs
• ¼ onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp chopped carrots
• 1 scallion, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cabbage Salad: In a small bowl, mix the thinly sliced cabbage, ketchup and mayonnaise. Make sure the sauce is well incorporated. Set aside.

2. Butter a non-stick frypan and toast the 4 slices of bread until golden brown. Set side.

3. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the 3 eggs. Add in the chopped onion, carrots and scallion. Add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.

4. Preheat a non-stick fry pan on medium heat (same from step 1). Add in about 1 Tbsp cooking oil, and pour in the egg mixture. Cook the first side until the egg is about 70% cooked through and flip over. Cut the egg omelette into 4 equal pieces.

5. Assemble: Lay a toast down on a plate. Top with one egg. Top with half of the cabbage salad. Top with another egg. Spread the strawberry jam on the other toast. Lay it on top of the egg. Repeat for the other sandwich! Enjoy with a friend, partner, or have both yourself!
