Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Recently, I was inspired by Chef Yoon Yoo-sun’s cabbage dish featured on the TV show ‘Pyeonstorang’. I decided to make my own version of a cabbage toast sandwich using the fresh cabbage I had at home. This breadless version is surprisingly thick and crisp, making it a wonderfully satisfying meal. Let’s get started on this delicious recipe that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds!
Step 2
Begin by thinly shredding the cabbage. Finely shred the carrot and onion as well. To ensure cleanliness and freshness, soak the shredded cabbage in water mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for about 5 minutes. Afterward, drain it thoroughly in a colander. For best results, use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture, preventing the mixture from becoming too watery.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion. Crack the 3 fresh eggs into the bowl. Mix everything together well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the egg.
Step 4
Instead of 1 teaspoon of salt, start with just 2 small pinches, adjusting to your taste later. It’s better to add more salt if needed than to make it too salty.
Step 5
Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper for an extra layer of flavor. You can adjust the amount of pepper according to your preference.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and spread 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil evenly. Add 1/2 piece of unsalted butter and let it melt. Ladle a portion of the cabbage mixture into the pan, forming a thick patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7
Once the bottom is golden brown, carefully use a spatula to cut the patty in half directly in the pan. This makes it easier to flip.
Step 8
Flip the two halves over and cook for another 2 minutes. Once both sides are somewhat cooked, flip them again. Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each half, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to assemble your cabbage toast. Place one cooked cabbage patty on a plate. Layer the 2 slices of melted cheddar cheese on top. Then, carefully place the other cooked cabbage patty on top to create your sandwich.
Step 10
And there you have it! Your delicious and hearty breadless cabbage sandwich, inspired by Chef Yoon Yoo-sun’s ‘Pyeonstorang’ cabbage toast, is ready to be enjoyed. It’s satisfyingly thick and flavorful!
Step 11
Because this sandwich is made without bread, it’s an excellent option for those on a diet. While it includes eggs and cheese, it provides a good source of protein and can be a guilt-free, healthy meal choice. You’ll want to make this nourishing cabbage toast often!
