Nostalgic Street Toast
A Filling Street Toast to Power Your Morning
Remember those delicious street toasts sold in front of train stations during college days? Now you can recreate that amazing taste at home! This recipe aims to bring back the famous ‘Changdong Toast’ flavor, ensuring your commute mornings are hearty and satisfying.
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- About 1/4 head of cabbage
- About 1/4 carrot
- 2-3 Tbsp canned corn kernels (optional)
- 2 slices of cheese
Seasoning & Sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- Ketchup to taste
- 1 tsp sugar
- Ketchup to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables, the star of our toast. Finely shred the cabbage. It might seem like a lot, but it cooks down, so start with about a quarter of the head.
Step 2
Julienne the carrot thinly. Store the prepared vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they’re great for other dishes later. Leftovers can be used in salads or with dressing, or even as a base for a quick ‘ketchup-mayo’ sauce.
Step 3
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Whisk them vigorously until they are frothy and well-beaten.
Step 4
Add a generous amount of the prepared vegetables to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly. If you’re using canned corn, stir it in now for an added textural element and burst of sweetness. Ensure there are plenty of vegetables to egg mixture to create a thick, substantial patty.
Step 5
Now, let’s toast the bread. Lightly grease a pan with butter or cooking oil. Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides.
Step 6
In the same pan, or a clean one, add a little more butter or oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the pan, shaping it into a thick, rectangular patty that matches the size of your bread. It’s crucial to cook this on low heat until the inside is fully cooked through. Carefully flip the patty to cook the other side; be gentle to prevent it from breaking apart.
Step 7
Once the toast is nicely browned, gently place a slice of cheese on top. The residual heat will help it melt slightly, acting as a delicious binder.
Step 8
Carefully place the cooked, thick vegetable and egg patty on top of the melted cheese.
Step 9
Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the patty. You can add more if you prefer it sweeter. Finally, drizzle a generous amount of ketchup on top for that classic street toast flavor. Your delicious street toast is ready!
Step 10
Enjoy it immediately while it’s warm for the best taste! This makes for a wonderfully satisfying breakfast or a delightful snack.
