Making Authentic Cabbage Toast (Street Style) at Home
Cabbage toast is an easy snack that anyone can make with just a few ingredients! Once you try it, you’ll likely find yourself making it at home again and again. Cabbage bought whole is particularly economical, making it perfect for salads, toast, or steaming. Eating it diligently in various ways will help you use up a whole head quickly!
Main Ingredients- 1/4 head of cabbage
- 1/4 carrot (optional)
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your toast. Gather the main ingredients like cabbage and eggs, the optional carrot, and the bread and seasoning components.
Step 2
Wash the cabbage thoroughly and shred it as thinly as possible into a bowl. The carrot adds color but isn’t essential for flavor, so feel free to omit it. Even without carrots, cabbage toast is delicious, so don’t feel obligated to buy extra vegetables if you don’t have them on hand.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk them well. Add the shredded cabbage to the egg mixture and gently stir to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated with the egg.
Step 4
Heat a pan with margarine or butter. Spoon the cabbage and egg mixture onto the pan, shaping it to roughly the size of your bread slices, and cook. If you prefer a thicker toast, use a generous amount of batter; for a thinner one, spread it out more.
Step 5
Today, I opted for a thicker toast, so I used a good amount of the batter. Let it cook until golden brown.
Step 6
Once the cabbage mixture is nicely browned on both sides, transfer it to a separate plate.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to toast the bread. The secret to authentic street-style toast is grilling the bread in margarine! If you don’t have margarine, butter or cooking oil will work, but margarine truly captures that nostalgic flavor. Toasting it lightly is fine, but a golden brown toast is even better.
Step 8
Place the bread slices in the pan with margarine and toast them until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides.
Step 9
On one side of the toasted bread, place the cooked cabbage mixture. Drizzle ketchup over it, then sprinkle a little sugar on top. The classic street toast flavor comes from this combination of margarine-toasted bread, ketchup, and sugar!
Step 10
Finally, top with the other slice of bread, press down gently, and cut into portions. Your nostalgic street-style cabbage toast is ready to enjoy!
