I remember as a kid in korea eating this every winter, almost everyday on the street. On my way back from school. And sometimes I didn't have money and the lady who makes it would give it to me for free because she didn't want to see me hungry. Warm cozy memory of winter.
I love your story. As I was reading I could see it all playing out in my mind. Such a lovely story. Also, God bless the kind lady who made this for you.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought Chef John would be telling us to source some kimchi. Is it traditionally made with plain julienned carrots and cabbage, not kimchi?
I sincerely love how Chef John assumes that some people who are watching need some very basic instructions, like how to julienne vegetables, without rubbing in the fact that he's teaching us. 💖
what i love about about chef john is how he varies his recipes, he doesnt exclusively cook american/italian food with a sprinkle of cayenne, he actually reseaches and features other kinds of cuisine. I remember when he posted paraguayan flatbread (mbeju) from my home country i felt so validated and seen, i never saw my fav youtubers ever mention my country, and now with this korean recipe is so nice to see how much he recommends and loves it
I have created a monster. I made this for my girlfriend Tuesday, she made them for her mother and daughter on Wednesday, and we had them for breakfast today. But instead of ham I used applewood smoked bacon. Because after all, I am the Donny Most of my Korean Street toast.
Chef John, since traveling abroad now is limited due to Covid, please do more of these videos. Street food is so underrated!! Please take us around the world and show us how to recreate dishes some of us would probably never get the opportunity to taste. Thank you.
I used to eat this street toast everyday for breakfast when I was in university. Now I make it for my kids and Canadian husband and the LOVE it too. It’s exciting to see a famous chef like you making my home-food. Thank you 🥰
@@phillystevesteak6982 try channel of Korean chef Maangchi (which was recommended to me by Korean lady). She made those sandwiches in pretty much same way. Btw she also has the best ever kimchi recipe. "I really Hope you will give this a try"!
Delicious!!!! I made this for lunch! I asked my husband if he wanted one, he looked at the ingredients and said "no". When it was ready, I had him try a bite, well.... lo and behold, he wouldn't give me back my sandwich. He loved it!!! crazy ingredient, but it works!!!
22 hours ago I posted a comment. I went to bed after having made one for lunch. I had to get out of bed at 9:00 pm to make another one! It’s breakfast, and I’m making another as I type. My wife likes it, and two of my kids like them. This is truly an amazing meal.
I made this and all of the flavors blending together was beyond amazing, this should be sold in America in restaurants, around the world even. Thank you so much for sharing this!
My mom used to make it for me and my brother when we were little .. I didn’t know these were korean street toasts because we had immigrated to the states when my brother and I were still young and didn’t have the chance to eat them in Korea. I remember them being so delicious! Now I live in Korea by myself but it’s quite hard to find them here .. and my mom passed some time ago so thank you so much for the recipe! I will try them soon.
I found out about this through Maangchii's recipe and kinda remixed it by adding bacon and tonkatsu sauce, making it into a sort of okonomiyaki street toast. It was one of the most delicious things I'd ever eaten in my life.
“... you are glen close of your Korean street roast” that is a sentence I never thought I’d hear. And I’ve been eating this gilguri toast since middle school!! Major kudos to you chef John!!
Since I am extra broke this year, I have been on the lookout for something that is different, cheap, and easy to get ingredients for. This fits the bill perfectly, definitely going to try it!
You can also fry the cabbage, carrots, a little onions (add your favorite seasoning. For me chicken bouillon is a must). Then add shredded chicken and add mustard and mayo (or just thousand islands) and mix it all together. Make a sandwich 🥪 with that, it's delicious 😋😋
I got into a Korean street food youtube recommendation feedback loop, and I have concluded that Koreans have a strong love of things that are toasted, and things that have 3 or more different sauces. Also everything has to be annoyingly neat, perfectly round/square, etc.
Lived in Korea for over five years as an English teacher. These were many of my breakfasts (minus the sauce). This looks very authentic to what I have seen and ate. Also, for some reason Koreans put sugar on everything, even garlic bread, garlic bread. Friends i knew would recommend Italian places simply with, "They don't put sugar on their garlic bread."
@@CodyCha Not exactly. The flour to sugar ratio is 10:1. There's more in there than just those 2 ingredients. And that was in Ireland. In America, most of their bread has 3 grams sugar per 6 inch. That's 12 calories. But they have to list it because they added it. Just because they added it, doesn't mean you're going to eat it. A small amount of sugar is necessary to feed the yeast, otherwise it takes a long damn time to make bread. Big companies don't just make a recipe and start selling it. They have groups of people from every area they sell in taste testing. Apparently in Ireland they like their sandwich bread sweeter than we do. And you can't really fault a company for selling people what they want.
@@lordgarion514 there’s no difference between subway bread sold in the US and England/Ireland. What the Irish court was referring to is raw ingredients. What you’re talking about is nutrition data of baked bread.
I made this and it was delicious. I made it for myself because I wasn't sure that my husband would like it, so after it was assembled, I gave him a bite and he really enjoyed it. The last time I made this, I used sliced turkey and it was great also. I watched several other people make Korean Street toast and they followed their own favorite additions and/or subtractions.
You are 100% correct! It has all the components. Sweet, savory, crunchy, salty, buttery, it’s so satisfying and cabbage is so good! The secret ingredient is truly a top secret...don’t tell!
First of all...I’m definitely making this for me and my hubby and second, I’ve been making chef John recipes for years via allrecipes! I just found this channel 10 minutes ago and I’m so excited yay!
That is quite the rabbit hole to find and go down, but I will guarantee it will be delicious and entertaining. The puns and jokes are top notch and with guest stars like “Cayenne” and “freakishly small wooden spoon” you never know what’s going to happen 😁
Wow! Honestly, as a Korean, I was really surprised to find this toast on Chef John's Channel. You can easily find people eating this toast in front of the foodtruck.
@@chanfonseka8051 Keyword 'korean toast seoul'. You can easily find it in S.KOREA. The famous one is 'issac toast', but is;sac toast is slightly different from the one in clip. The version of the one in the clip is foodtruck version(in Korean, 'pojangmacha' version) and quite common as a breakfast.
My husband and I lived in Korea as civilians around 25 years ago. We were shocked by how much sugar was in used in dishes where we’d never expect it. Tasted great to our sweet teeth, but hell on the blood sugar! I’m making a bacon kimchi dish for him tomorrow. I’ve never been a big fan of kimchi, but he fell in love with this dish in Virginia, of all places, and it’s his birthday request, so I’ll do my best. Thank you for posting.
I've watched your videoes for so long just as entertainment, until I started realizing that these ARE recipes after all. This is the second recipe of yours I've tried in just as many days, and I have to say that this is a delicious sandwich. I'm happy you pressured me into doing the double egg version - I needed it!
As a Korean, I remember eating this almost everyday for breakfast or lunch because my mom made them and I still love eating it to this day. It's definitely soul food for Koreans. I would say it's much better to use Japanese milk bread instead of American white bread. Trust me, the difference is phenomenal.
Love this and totally see how it becomes a street food vendor staple. This takes you significantly less time each time you make it. So one of the things I really love with it is it has one of the best time spent cooking to interesting and tasty meal ratio I have ever encountered. With just a bit of practice you can really easily and quickly whip this up and yet it tastes more complex and interesting then most things you can whip up very quickly.
I love this channel. America has its problems but one good thing we have is the freedom to attain delish ingredients and create or enjoy tasty dishes from all the over the world. Cheers!
I know that I am very late to the conversation, but thanks for another "Wow!" recipe. I was skeptical about the very judicious use of cold cuts, and generous use of sugar, but I stayed the course and it paid off! Thank you.
I just made this because of this video. Thanks to Chef John for ruining any other breakfast sandwich for me! :D Chef John: Your kicthen skills and presentation are a joy to watch . Truly.
Had to check out Chef John after hearing him mentioned all over the place... and I can really see what all the fuss is about! Will be returning for sure!
Be honest here, did you stay up late watching endless Korean street toast videos on youtube? If not, you should as they are the most relaxing thing to watch at 2am when you have insomnia.
I kept asking myself if there would be mayonnaise, I was waiting for it and when it finally was applied I very silently whispered: Yessss! Definitely will try this.
When I first watched this video I had some apprehension as it seemed like a crazy combo of ingredients BUT I just made it as Chef John demonstrated !!! Wow it's totally delicious !! I did add some sriracha to the ketchup/mayo combo but this is one breakfast/lunch sandwich I'm going to be making on a regular basis !!
Geez Jess maybe you should read my whole post !! Yes I did and it was really delicious !! Perhaps you should work on your concentration skills and I missed the part where I'm supposed to care about what you believe or not !!
I made this for breakfast today. I had coleslaw mix on hand, which worked well. Sliced up a bit of onion too. As I commented before, this is definitely an after-party snack. Good for breakfast, too
Right? From all the street food videos I’ve watched to all the chef John videos I’ve watched... I never thought those worlds would collide. It made me feel some type of way.
Hmmm interesting... a few weeks back when i had the flu and was feeling too sick to go outside for food-shopping i made something in this style, but i made a dobble decker with 3 slices of toast. And i just used what i found in the almost empty fridge: ham, tomatoe slices, sour pickle slices, a fried egg and a slice of melted cheese. Its always good to have some Toast-bread in the house! ❤🍞
I just made this. Used strawberry preserves instead of sugar. It was really good! Crunchy, with a lot of different flavors going on. I would make it again! Thank you Chef John!
I've made this sandwich three lunches in a row and it keeps getting better every time! Wrapping the whole thing, burrito style in foil is a great way to contain the sloppiness.
Glad your expense account always guarantees a good video spiced with wit and humor. I don’t have an expense account anymore so I’ll just have to break the budget and whip up this yummy treat!
I've been doing this with baloney and omelettes since I was a kid, but never thought anything special about it until I saw how popular it was in Korea and on youtube. Would love to try a legit one someday.
The Monte Cristo interestingly is available in virtually cafes in Korea along with Texas style toast topped with whipped cream and cherry tomatoes. I don’t understand the latter one. It’s not bad just from a different reference plane.
Best thing about this is that this is just the base idea. You can put almost anything on this and it is all good. Shrimp added is great. I like mine with cooked chorizo.
Brought back culinary school vibes with julienning the carrots. I remember doing it over and over. Havent done it since then. That sandwich actually looks really good.
Ahahaha. Do you have children? I have memories eating this as a child only so I think it’s something mothers make for their children moreso than adults haha. (Kinda like Mac and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches?) She made it for lunches when I was on elementary school a lot but once I went into middle school, I never got these unless I asked for it.
Probably because she doesn't want you to get fat as hell. This thing has like 1500 calories, all from fat and carbs. Korea was relatively a poor country until the 90s so we sought out calorie dense food as much as possible at the lowest cost possible. This was one of the result as was the instant ramen and other flour based foods. Now that Korea is one of the richest countries in the world, food like this is actually contributing to an obesity problem. Enjoy it friend, but only like once a month. LOL.
I loved having this when I was stationed in Korea at Osan Air Base, usually after a few to many OB beers or Soju in downtown Songtan village...good times!!
Having made this many times a week since- a few tips: if your mixture has more egg to veggies ratio- use a smaller pan to keep shape- keep very low heat as you cook the egg mixture and constantly kinda push holes into it so the raw egg parts flow downward and cook- or if you’re not able to babysit it and doing other things: low heat and a lid goes a long way. You can sub the sugar for jam- I like strawberry sometimes. Okanamoyaki sauce is a good substitute for ketchup sometimes. As well as it’s nice to sometimes fry a few slices of bacon or spam or deli ham or even pat out a sandwich size of sausage. Sliced peppers are good in the mixture as well as sometimes instead of salt, a little soy sauce & mirin combo. Yummy 😋 And I always toast my bread a little more than I would normally because it can get soggy.
I made this tonight! Super filling! Its pretty much a quarter of a small cabbage amd a whole carrot in each sandwich. Definitely a go-to hot sandwich for cheap!
Chef John, your channel is doing wonders for my marriage! I made your Turkish eggs this morning and my husband licked his plate clean and then made up a song about how awesome I am! This recipe will probably get me flowers ;)
chef John low key slaps with his subtle jokes. He's been doing this for years, and thats why I subscribed lol. Hes awesome and has taught me so many new recipes.
Koreans are the kings of street food. When I was stationed there in the 80s, they made an unusual but great tasting cheeseburger. It also had that mix of vegetables in this video. After a night of bar hopping it really hit the spot!
Jane here. That looks yummy. The sweet and savory reminds me of the time as a child I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and stuck a slice of bologna with miracle whip inside as well. The jelly and bologna tasted great.
OMG! I made your Korean Street Toast this morning and It was Amazing! I just didn't know how the carrots, cabbage and green onions were going taste with the eggs and I'm a big egg eater. I didn't have ham, so I used smoked Turkey and Munster cheese buried between Sour Dough bread. Finished it off with the ketchup and buttermilk ranch dressing! Daaaaaammmnn! Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
I made this today. It was delicious! the one thing I would do differently is sauté my veggies for a minute or two just to dry them out before I add the egg. Either that or don’t work with veggies straight from the fridge. There may have been condensation. Also, I used homemade sourdough and it was great but I think I’d preferred it just toasted rather than fried. And I did happen to have ground (home grown) Korean chilies instead of cayenne. Once I did it, I too realized the sugar is essential. I used good ole American cheese slices. Perfection!
Gosh, that looks absolutely delicious. Julienning carrots is something I'm still not quite used to, but I definitely want to try this out ASAP! I'd imagine this would be brilliant with some thick slices of homemade milk bread.
Tried this one recently, just because it looked so unusual yet accessible. It’s scrumptious, and my husband loved it too, so it may become a regular. Thank you! 👍🏻
Me and my girlfriend were watching korean recipes and finding them so bizarre because the dip everything in white sugar. Be it cheese corn, corn dogs or sandwiches.... I do find it awesome that you've tried that recipe out, and really inspired me to try it out myself.
I remember as a kid in korea eating this every winter, almost everyday on the street. On my way back from school. And sometimes I didn't have money and the lady who makes it would give it to me for free because she didn't want to see me hungry. Warm cozy memory of winter.

Chef John is the GOAT. Fast, funny, does his research on other cultures cuisines, and respects the viewers time.
Yep. I have never seen anything from Paraguay. Nice country. I'll try to remember to checkout the flatbread video.
Hes introduced me to so many types of cooking styles and methods! Chef John is the man!!
Chef John is the Space Ghost of the Korean Street Toast
On which coast?
"which is fine, I have an expense account"
Not sure why this cracked me up so much
He could use the rest for baking, and also it's what you use to makes hummingbird nectar for feeders.
Because most people don't need an expense account to afford squeeze bottles.

I have created a monster. I made this for my girlfriend Tuesday, she made them for her mother and daughter on Wednesday, and we had them for breakfast today. But instead of ham I used applewood smoked bacon. Because after all, I am the Donny Most of my Korean Street toast.

Had to check out Chef John after hearing him mentioned all over the place... and I can really see what all the fuss is about! Will be returning for sure!
This is crazy. I’ve been watching tons of Korean street food videos recently and now you’re making it.
Man these look so good. Korean street food is just something else. It looks so tasty and comforting to eat.
I just made this where have you been my whole life delight.
WOW.
Hard to describe the magic of flavors and textures.
THANK YOU!!!
Be honest here, did you stay up late watching endless Korean street toast videos on youtube? If not, you should as they are the most relaxing thing to watch at 2am when you have insomnia.
love Chef John!
You should totally do series of street food from around the world.
YES! I'd love it if he'd make a video on Doner Kebabs. When I was in Berlin they were THE street food to try and boy were they the bomb!
I saw this dish in another channel and it was pretty easy to make. This is the best egg veggie sandwich ever. It is one of my favorite dish now.
Just made this. oh my it was delicious !!! Thank You !!!
I kept asking myself if there would be mayonnaise, I was waiting for it and when it finally was applied I very silently whispered: Yessss!
Definitely will try this.
As a Korean i verify and approve this recipe!
구독한지 몇 년 째인데 여기서 이걸보다니 놀랍고 신기해요
그러니까요. 세상에
@@LauraChae 그러게요 ㅎㅎㅎ
세상에.. I was thinking the same
Hm, yes, well personally, I think * KOREAN SOUNDS *
When I first watched this video I had some apprehension as it seemed like a crazy combo of ingredients BUT I just made it as Chef John demonstrated !!! Wow it's totally delicious !! I did add some sriracha to the ketchup/mayo combo but this is one breakfast/lunch sandwich I'm going to be making on a regular basis !!
did you really actually make it? I kind of don't believe you. Unless you say it was really good.
Geez Jess maybe you should read my whole post !! Yes I did and it was really delicious !! Perhaps you should work on your concentration skills and I missed the part where I'm supposed to care about what you believe or not !!
@@martygilson5928 simmer down Karen
@@whatster8753 okay zoomer
@@IKMojito Honkahonkaa nice try zoomer
I made this for breakfast today. I had coleslaw mix on hand, which worked well. Sliced up a bit of onion too. As I commented before, this is definitely an after-party snack. Good for breakfast, too
As a Korean born and raised, I want to thank you! This is bringing back so many memories! Hello from So Cali!
Socal not so cali :)
A crossover in my life I didn't know was going to happen.
What do you mean
Right? From all the street food videos I’ve watched to all the chef John videos I’ve watched... I never thought those worlds would collide. It made me feel some type of way.
@@venomf0 I watch a lot of street food videos. Most of the best filmed ones are from Korea.
@@LeslieWho oh okay.
@@JoshJalil Chef John's done a several korean recipes before. It's not totally outside his wheelhouse
Hmmm interesting... a few weeks back when i had the flu and was feeling too sick to go outside for food-shopping i made something in this style, but i made a dobble decker with 3 slices of toast. And i just used what i found in the almost empty fridge: ham, tomatoe slices, sour pickle slices, a fried egg and a slice of melted cheese. Its always good to have some Toast-bread in the house! ❤🍞
"we just ate a whole serving of vegetables without noticing" -- coated in sugar, ham, cheese, mayo and ketchup. haha :)
better than no veggies. sneak it in like v8
Not to mention a total of 3 tablespoons of butter!
noice
"A spoon full of sugar helps the vegetables go down..."
The nutritional facts are on allrecipes. 1 sandwich = 900+ calories and over 100% of your daily fat, cholesterol and sodium.
Worth.
I just made this. Used strawberry preserves instead of sugar. It was really good! Crunchy, with a lot of different flavors going on. I would make it again! Thank you Chef John!
I've made this sandwich three lunches in a row and it keeps getting better every time! Wrapping the whole thing, burrito style in foil is a great way to contain the sloppiness.
I can't even picture what this tastes like. Looks delicious though!
ham & cheese omelet with coleslaw, on a sandwich
I love this description!! 👏🏼🤭
How about picturing a ham and cheese and egg with cole slaw sandwich. Got the picture? Sheesh is it so hard to use your imagination?
Try it! 😋
I made one a few months ago. It was amazing. The sugar is the most important part
Glad your expense account always guarantees a good video spiced with wit and humor. I don’t have an expense account anymore so I’ll just have to break the budget and whip up this yummy treat!
This makes sense if you compare the flavor profile to something like a monte cristo.
Yes!
I've been doing this with baloney and omelettes since I was a kid, but never thought anything special about it until I saw how popular it was in Korea and on youtube. Would love to try a legit one someday.
Wow spot on, even down to the interesting sugar topping.
We are, after all the Yakuza, of what we put in our bellies after booze-ups.
The Monte Cristo interestingly is available in virtually cafes in Korea along with Texas style toast topped with whipped cream and cherry tomatoes. I don’t understand the latter one. It’s not bad just from a different reference plane.
Chef John is that Fundamentals of Cooking teacher every Culinary Student had and every single one admirably remembers ❤️
Best thing about this is that this is just the base idea. You can put almost anything on this and it is all good. Shrimp added is great. I like mine with cooked chorizo.
Brought back culinary school vibes with julienning the carrots. I remember doing it over and over. Havent done it since then.
That sandwich actually looks really good.
I just made this for lunch after watching this video. Damn Korea, i knew your bbq and bulgogi was good but this was a surprise.
I now need to ask my Korean wife of 23+ years why we have never had this. She has some ‘splaining to do.
😅😅😅
Ahahaha. Do you have children? I have memories eating this as a child only so I think it’s something mothers make for their children moreso than adults haha. (Kinda like Mac and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches?) She made it for lunches when I was on elementary school a lot but once I went into middle school, I never got these unless I asked for it.
Or you could be inspired by the recipe and make it for lunch for the two of you....peas and lovage
🤣
Probably because she doesn't want you to get fat as hell. This thing has like 1500 calories, all from fat and carbs. Korea was relatively a poor country until the 90s so we sought out calorie dense food as much as possible at the lowest cost possible. This was one of the result as was the instant ramen and other flour based foods. Now that Korea is one of the richest countries in the world, food like this is actually contributing to an obesity problem. Enjoy it friend, but only like once a month. LOL.
Yeeiiih!!! So happy you made a Korean street food dish! Please make more Korean food!
You won't feel the heat of the cayenne except on your hand from mixing the veggies! Delicious! A winner with the whole family!
"And there is going to be less chance of burning it because I'm playing with it so much" I had the exact opposite experience...
well, note that Chef John plays with his for only a few minutes, instead of hours on end, right?
@@silpheedTandy And he does it gently too
@@silpheedTandy with butter
For a healthier option I think I would use less butter & mayo & sauce & drop the sugar since there is some in ketchup anyway.
@@cizia69 butter sure does contribute to the sensual pleasures of life, doesn't it?
I loved having this when I was stationed in Korea at Osan Air Base, usually after a few to many OB beers or Soju in downtown Songtan village...good times!!
Suggest it to Denny's? I would order that
@@judyjohnson9610 Not even in the same zip code!! WHAT??!!
@@BOHICA_69 for us poor people who can't afford to travel!
Having made this many times a week since- a few tips: if your mixture has more egg to veggies ratio- use a smaller pan to keep shape- keep very low heat as you cook the egg mixture and constantly kinda push holes into it so the raw egg parts flow downward and cook- or if you’re not able to babysit it and doing other things: low heat and a lid goes a long way. You can sub the sugar for jam- I like strawberry sometimes. Okanamoyaki sauce is a good substitute for ketchup sometimes. As well as it’s nice to sometimes fry a few slices of bacon or spam or deli ham or even pat out a sandwich size of sausage. Sliced peppers are good in the mixture as well as sometimes instead of salt, a little soy sauce & mirin combo.
Yummy 😋
And I always toast my bread a little more than I would normally because it can get soggy.
love your takes on this, will try.
I made this tonight! Super filling! Its pretty much a quarter of a small cabbage amd a whole carrot in each sandwich. Definitely a go-to hot sandwich for cheap!
Chef John, your channel is doing wonders for my marriage! I made your Turkish eggs this morning and my husband licked his plate clean and then made up a song about how awesome I am! This recipe will probably get me flowers ;)
The way you explain and narrate.... I wanna make this for breakfast tomorrow!!! Thank you for the recipe 🙏
On the " I have to try this" score from 1 to 10 this is 27
Do not mess this up by using any bread that has any nutritional value... 😂
This is the best comment!. That is all.
I can deconfirm, whole wheat bread works fine.
chef John low key slaps with his subtle jokes. He's been doing this for years, and thats why I subscribed lol. Hes awesome and has taught me so many new recipes.
You could make pan de mie, which is delicious square everyday French white bread, and no one needs to know it's nutritious unless you tell them.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp is it a pun?
Been watching your channel for a while now and this was the first recipe I've actually tried. End result delicious! An half was a perfect breakfast.
Koreans are the kings of street food. When I was stationed there in the 80s, they made an unusual but great tasting cheeseburger. It also had that mix of vegetables in this video. After a night of bar hopping it really hit the spot!
my parents used to add strawberry jam in mine when I was growing up!
That sounds really good!
Yes, sounds delicious. I would leave out the sugar and ketchup if using jam though.
I actually think I would prefer that to the sugar.
My mom would add jam and bacon lol. It was sooo goood!
Let’s see if you would let them do the same to you now😄🤔
Chef John: cuts his sandwich into triangles. You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
Triangles are the only shape that every shape can be neatly cut into, there is no option but to cut into triangles!
Are you serious? What were you expecting, circles?
I agree do a whole street food series
Jane here. That looks yummy. The sweet and savory reminds me of the time as a child I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and stuck a slice of bologna with miracle whip inside as well. The jelly and bologna tasted great.
Amazing! I seem to have concocted this sandwich many times while intoxicated & never realised it was a Korean street toastie.
It’s basically a ham grilled cheese with coleslaw. Delicious.
Liz Lemon says: "Put potato chips on a sandwich!". I say put ALL side dishes on a sandwich!
Well the egg makes it far different
Jeff F It’s like a breakfast sandwich with coleslaw.
It's far more like an omelet than coleslaw lol.
I love how authoritatively Chef John slips that spatula underneath
You cannot show any fear before a spatula. It can sense fear.
Food senses fear is a famous Chef John quote!! 👏🏼
"Never let the food win"
Every time I go to Korea , this is absolutely a must.
OMG! I made your Korean Street Toast this morning and It was Amazing! I just didn't know how the carrots, cabbage and green onions were going taste with the eggs and I'm a big egg eater. I didn't have ham, so I used smoked Turkey and Munster cheese buried between Sour Dough bread. Finished it off with the ketchup and buttermilk ranch dressing! Daaaaaammmnn! Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
I made this today. It was delicious! the one thing I would do differently is sauté my veggies for a minute or two just to dry them out before I add the egg. Either that or don’t work with veggies straight from the fridge. There may have been condensation. Also, I used homemade sourdough and it was great but I think I’d preferred it just toasted rather than fried. And I did happen to have ground (home grown) Korean chilies instead of cayenne. Once I did it, I too realized the sugar is essential. I used good ole American cheese slices. Perfection!
My grandma always used strawberry jam instead of sugar and this video made me miss her. I think I know what I’ll be having for dinner later.
That sounds even more delicious!
@@patriciamorgan6545 give it a try if you do make this recipe!
Yeah nice twist. I’m going with strawberry or rhubarb jam.
@@aflyingfishstick I definitely will!😋
thanks for the idea!!! i'm going to try it with strawberry jam then!!
I’m trying this for sure need something different to try during Pandemic
Gosh, that looks absolutely delicious. Julienning carrots is something I'm still not quite used to, but I definitely want to try this out ASAP! I'd imagine this would be brilliant with some thick slices of homemade milk bread.
Just made this with slices of milk bread I’ve made, can confirm it’s delicious!
Tried this one recently, just because it looked so unusual yet accessible. It’s scrumptious, and my husband loved it too, so it may become a regular. Thank you! 👍🏻
Me and my girlfriend were watching korean recipes and finding them so bizarre because the dip everything in white sugar. Be it cheese corn, corn dogs or sandwiches.... I do find it awesome that you've tried that recipe out, and really inspired me to try it out myself.
