Korean Street Food-Style Toast

Difficulty: ★★★★☆

Korean Street Food-Style Toast

This time, instead of pancakes, we tried toasting bread! This toast is inspired by the kind you’d find at Korean street food stalls, where omelets and toast are cooked on the same grill.

Ingredients

・Bread (sliced in eight pieces)

[Omelets (for eight slices of bread)]

A pack of shredded cabbage mix: 140g
Whole eggs: 110g (2 large-sized eggs)
Salt and pepper: 3g

[Flavoring and toppings]

Some ketchup
Some granulated sugar
2 sliced cheese (per 4 slices of bread)
1 slice of ham (per 4 slices of bread)

[For application on the copper cooking surface]

Some butter

How to Make the Egg Mixture

Crack the whole eggs into the shredded cabbage mix, add salt and pepper, and mix it all together.
Grill this mixture on a hot plate, but be sure to mix it just before grilling to prevent it from releasing too much moisture.

It’s delicious with just cabbage, but this time we used cabbage mixed with corn.

It tastes better if you add a little more salt and pepper for a stronger flavor.

How to Cook Korean Street Food-Style Toast

Set the Compact Pancake Cooker to 170°C and spread butter on the copper cooking surface.
Place an egg ring on the left side and pour in about half of the egg mixture, then place 4 slices of bread next to it.

This time, we used a block of butter for an authentic street food style.

Using an egg ring helps keep the egg mixture contained and makes cooking easier.

Add ham on top of the egg mixture. Once the bread is lightly browned, flip the bread over.
Use a metal spatula to crease the bread diagonally, then place ketchup, granulated sugar, and halved slices of cheese on one side.

Creasing the bread makes it easier to fold later.

The ketchup and sugar add a classic Korean street food flavor.

When the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the egg ring, flip the eggs, and cut them into 4 equal parts.
Place them on top of the bread, fold it in half, and it’s ready!
It took about 5 minutes and 15 seconds in total to cook.

If you use too much egg mixture, it will take longer to cook. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your egg ring.

Finished Examples

For an authentic touch, serve it in a paper cup.

Extra insights

We also tried making French toast!
Soak a slice of bread cut in half in a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar for about an hour. Set the temperature to 190°C and bake for 3 minutes (1.5 minutes per side).

You can bake 3 slices of bread (6 half-cut slices) at once.

We ended up with delicious French toast that was crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside!

This time, we experimented with bread instead of pancakes, creating the Korean street food-style toast we’d always wanted to try. Coordinating the timing of the eggs with the bread and toppings was a bit challenging, but it was a fun process!
Next time, we plan to bake pancakes instead of bread and recreate the Korean street food toast.
