Korean street toast

길거리토스트

What exactly is it?

Griddled bread holds an egg-and-vegetable filling, often with shredded cabbage. Sugar or sweet sauce joins the savory ingredients; ham and cheese are optional additions. This is a filled sandwich, not just a slice of toasted bread.

Main ingredients

Bread, egg, cabbage and other vegetables, butter or margarine, sugar and ketchup; optional ham and cheese

Ordering and serving

Ask for no added sugar before cooking if you prefer less sweetness. The sauce itself may still be sweet.

Origins and changes

The street version cooks bread and an egg filling on a griddle. Shaping the vegetable omelet to fit the bread turns a few readily cooked ingredients into a handheld meal.
