Street Food Breakfast Recipes

Korean street toast is a popular breakfast food in Korea. It’s a sandwich filled with egg, vegetables, ham, ketchup, mayo, and cheese between buttery toasted bread. The unique combination of condiments creates a delicious sweet and salty taste that will leave you wanting more.

Korean Street Toast, also known as Gilgeori toast (길거리 토스트) in Korean, is a unique breakfast sandwich. It consists of shredded cabbage, carrot, and green onion cooked in an egg batter, layered with ham and cheese, and served between slices of buttered toast.

This popular Korean street food can often be found at street kiosks or franchise shops like Issac Toast, and is a common weekday morning scene on the streets of Korea. You’ll often see locals eating it on the go as they head to work or wait for the bus.

What makes this Korean toast recipe so unusual is the combination of condiments used to flavor the sandwich. A blend of sugar or jam, ketchup, and mayo (optional) is used to complement the egg omelet, crunchy vegetables, ham, and cheese that are sandwiched between slices of buttery toasted bread.

This sweet and salty flavor combination may sound unusual, but it’s a taste sensation that has made Korean street toast a worldwide popular.

Don’t knock it until you try it! This breakfast sandwich is not only delicious, but also nutritious, and is incredibly easy and quick to make.

Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl and add the shredded cabbage, carrot, green onion, and a pinch of salt; mix well.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a skillet over medium low heat. (I use a stick of butter to touch the skillet directly).

Spoon in a portion of egg and vegetable mixture, and spread it around to about the size of your sandwich bread. (You can make two egg pieces at a time)

Cook the egg omelettes 2-3 minutes on one side and flip. Cook until golden brown. Transfer the omelette to a plate and repeat the next batch.

Korean street vendors typically wrap their toast in foil and place it in a paper cup to keep its shape. However, you can also eat it as a regular sandwich or wrap it in parchment paper for on-the-go snacking.

I’m back again with another classic Korean recipe for you all. Korea is famous for its diverse array of delicious street food, and I was lucky enough to grow up eating all of it. One of my favorite street foods of all time is Korean street toast. I would often grab street toast for breakfast on my way to school (even if it meant running late.) I remember going to my favorite street toast vendor at least once a week and burning my tongue gobbling down these delicious sandwiches as I waited for the subway.

This dish is simple, and has all the best qualities of a breakfast sandwich. Melty cheese, egg, ham, toasted bread – pretty standard breakfast fare. I would say that what makes Korean street toast different is the addition of a thinly shredded cabbage slaw in the egg mixture and the use of sugar in the dish. Sugar is typically sprinkled on the egg, or on the bread, but for my recipe I decided to incorporate it into the sauce. This sweet, savory, tangy sauce is definitely what makes you reach back for more.

Best Street Food Recipes

For my Korean Street Toast, I used milk bread from my local Korean bakery. I definitely do recommend using Korean bread for this dish, but if you can’t get ahold of it, any type of sandwich bread will do! Just make sure to toast your bread thoroughly to prevent any sogginess. You can also play around with the carrot to cabbage ratio in your slaw depending on your taste! I sometimes will skip the carrots altogether and just use cabbage.
