Gwangjang Market Street Toast Recipe You Can Make at Home
This recipe recreates the beloved taste of the toast I used to enjoy at Gwangjang Market, inspired by my youngest son’s craving. It’s a simple yet special treat, perfect for a snack or a quick breakfast. Let’s bring that authentic street food flavor home!
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
- 1 egg
Seasonings & Others- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- Butter, for greasing
- Ketchup, for drizzling
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- Butter, for greasing
- Ketchup, for drizzling
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, melt a generous amount of butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, place the bread slices in the pan and toast them until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. Freshly toasted bread offers a richer flavor.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the egg and whisk it together with the chopped green onions. Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture thinly and spread it out to create a flat omelet. Cooking it until the edges are slightly crisp will enhance the texture.
Step 3
On one slice of the butter-toasted bread, place the cooked egg and green onion mixture. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar evenly over the top. The sugar will melt and caramelize, adding a deeper layer of sweetness.
Step 4
Drizzle ketchup generously in a zigzag pattern over the egg mixture. The sweet and tangy ketchup will balance the flavors, creating a more delightful toast.
Step 5
Cover with the remaining slice of bread, creating a sandwich. Fold it in half to make it easier to handle. You can then place it inside a paper cup for a convenient, on-the-go street food experience.
