Ingredients
- 2 lices bread white, wheat, multi-grain, or milk bread
- 3 ounces green cabbage 1 cup, packed, aka yangbaechu (양배추), up to 4 ounces
- ½ carrot about 0.5 ounces, small
- ¼ onion about 0.5 ounces, small
- 2 talks garlic chives aka buchu, or 1 small scallion
- 1 egg see note, large
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine or olive oil, or to taste, divided
- sugar Halmeoni Toast uses a heaping tablespoon, to taste
- ketchup to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the cabbage, onion, and carrot. Cut the garlic chives into about 1.5-inch long pieces. If using a scallion, thinly slice diagonally.
- In a large non-stick pan, melt butter or margarine (use as needed or to taste) over medium heat. Place both slices of the bread, moving them around and flipping over. Toast until golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
- In a small, deep bowl or cup (2-cup size), place the veggies (reserving about 1/5) along with a pinch of salt. Crack the egg in it. Mix everything well by hitting them down with a pair of tongs or a fork until the veggies and egg are well incorporated and reduced in volume, about 20 seconds.
- In the same pan, melt some more butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the egg and veggie mixture, flattening and shaping it to a large round with a spatula. Place the reserved veggies on top. Cook the mixture until it turns lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip it over with a spatula, add more butter or margarine, and cook the other side for about 2 minutes.
- Place the omelet on one piece of toast. Sprinkle it with sugar and top with a good squirt of ketchup to taste, and place the other slice of bread on top and serve.
Notes
- You can adjust the egg-to-vegetable ratio, but to truly experience Halmeoni toast, try it with one egg and then increase to 1.5 (3 for 2 sandwiches) to 2 eggs next time, if you like.
