This street toast recipe has become a favorite in our household recently. So much so that the hubs said I needed to share it on here so more people could try it out. 🙂

First, a BIG thank you goes to Maangchi for sharing this on her YouTube channel. I own & highly recommend her cookbook for Korean cooking at home (if you’re looking for a kimchi recipe now, here’s mine). Anyways, this Korean street toast recipe is so much fun to make & yummy to eat. I hope you’ll try it soon!

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 head cabbage, shredded or diced (approx. 3 cups)
  • 2 green onions, julienned
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices bread
  • butter
  • For topping: ketchup, mustard, granulated sugar
  • Aluminum Foil

You’ll need a flat-top grill or cast iron pan to make this.

First, add the cabbage, green onions, onion, & carrot slices to a medium size bowl. You want to roughly mix together – meaning crunch/crush up the cabbage with your hands as you go.

Next add salt and eggs to bowl and mix thoroughly.

Heat skillet or flat-top to medium-high heat. Add plenty of butter to the area.

Add the cabbage mix to the skillet/flat-top into two piles, then make each into a bread shape (square).

Let first side brown, about three minutes, then flip. Add more butter and reshape if needed.

Once the cabbage is flipped, it is time to toast the bread. Butter the bread and add to skillet/flat-top. Flip when first side is browned.

Once the cabbage ‘patties’ and bread slices are browned on both sides, it’s time to assemble the street toast!

Lay out two pieces of foil – you want them to be bigger than the bread.

To assemble each street toast, lay out a piece of bread on top of the foil. Then, add a cabbage ‘patty’ onto the bread. Top cabbage with about a 1 tsp. sugar and a generous amount of both ketchup & mustard. Then lay a second piece of toast on top.

Starting at one edge of the foil, roll the Korean street toast like a burrito and fold in the ends of the foil. It stays nice and hot if you’re not ready to eat right away and makes for an easy on-the-go meal by being able to just unwrap from the foil as you go.
