Nostalgic Street-Style Sandwich
Let’s Make Cha Seung-won’s Famous Street-Style Sandwich at Home!
I tried making the street-style sandwich made famous by Cha Seung-won after seeing it on TV. It’s a simple yet delicious taste of nostalgia. Perfect as a snack for kids or a quick brunch!
Main Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 carrot
- A handful of cabbage (about 1/4 of a small head)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 stalk of green onion
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Wash fresh vegetables thoroughly.
Step 2
Finely chop the vegetables. Dice the onion and carrot as small as possible so they mix well with the egg. Finely chop the green onion, and thinly shred the cabbage. Uniformly sized vegetables will result in a better texture.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with mayonnaise and ketchup, mixing well to create a delicious cabbage salad. Feel free to adjust the ratio of mayonnaise to ketchup according to your preference.
Step 4
In a deep bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add the minced vegetables (carrot, onion, green onion) and a pinch of salt, then stir to combine everything. Adding plenty of vegetables to the egg mixture makes for a richer flavor.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle in the egg mixture, about one ladleful at a time, and spread it out to form a wide, round omelet. Start with medium-low heat and be careful not to burn the egg as it cooks.
Step 6
Try to shape the omelets to be similar in size to your bread slices. This will help the sandwich look neat when assembled. Cook until golden brown on both sides. If you prefer a thicker omelet, you can use a bit more egg mixture.
Step 7
Lightly toast the bread slices in a dry pan and set aside while warm. Toasting them until slightly crisp will enhance the sandwich’s texture. You can use a toaster or a frying pan.
Step 8
Spread a thin layer of your favorite jam on one side of a toasted bread slice. Choose strawberry jam, grape jam, or any other jam you enjoy to add a touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Carefully place a golden-brown omelet on top of the jam-spread bread slice.
Step 10
Generously top the omelet with the prepared cabbage salad. The crisp texture and refreshing taste of the salad will elevate the sandwich’s flavor profile.
Step 11
Finally, place the other slice of bread on top to complete your delicious street-style sandwich! Slice it in half and enjoy while it’s warm.
