Main Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread
- 2-3 slices of cheddar cheese (to taste)
- 3 eggs
- A small amount of cabbage, finely chopped
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- A little green onion, finely chopped
- A small amount of carrot, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp corn kernels (canned)
Seasoning & Others
- 3 pinches of salt (for egg mixture)
- 1 tsp cooking wine (to remove egg smell)
- A little cooking oil (for frying)
- A pinch of sugar (optional, to sprinkle on egg)
- Plenty of tomato ketchup (for spreading)
- 3 pinches of salt (for egg mixture)
- 1 tsp cooking wine (to remove egg smell)
- A little cooking oil (for frying)
- A pinch of sugar (optional, to sprinkle on egg)
- Plenty of tomato ketchup (for spreading)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables for the sandwich. Finely chop the onion, cabbage, and carrot. Chopping the vegetables finely will help them mix well with the egg and create a smoother texture.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onion and set aside. Drain the canned corn kernels lightly and measure out 3 tablespoons.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add 3 pinches of salt and 1 teaspoon of cooking wine to reduce any eggy smell. Whisk thoroughly with chopsticks or a whisk to break up the egg yolks and whites.
Step 4
Add all the prepared chopped vegetables (onion, cabbage, carrot, green onion) and corn kernels to the whisked egg mixture. Stir well with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into the egg. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Now it’s time to cook the egg. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a very thin layer of cooking oil. Wiping the pan with a paper towel after adding oil can help prevent splattering. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out thinly to match the size of your bread slices. Shape the edges gently as they begin to set.
Step 6
Cook slowly over low heat to prevent the egg from burning. Once the bottom is golden brown and the top is almost set, carefully flip it over. Be cautious not to use high heat, as the egg can burn easily.
Step 7
While the egg is cooking, lightly toast your bread slices in a pan or toaster. Slightly toasted bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, enhances the sandwich’s flavor.
Step 8
Place the cooked egg patty onto one slice of the toasted bread. If you like, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sugar over the egg for a sweet and savory touch. (This step is optional).
Step 9
Generously spread your desired amount of tomato ketchup over the egg. The ketchup’s sweet and tangy flavor harmonizes the overall taste of the sandwich.
Step 10
Finally, top with cheddar cheese slices (sometimes called ‘triple cheese’!) and cover with the other slice of bread to complete your sandwich! It’s a simple yet incredibly delicious and filling winter snack. Enjoy your meal!
