Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the vegetables. You can use any leftover cabbage you have in the fridge. Finely shred it into bite-sized pieces. If the shreds are too thick, they might not cook evenly.
Step 2
Wash and peel 5 slices of carrot, then julienne them thinly, similar to the cabbage. Julienne carrots add a lovely sweetness to the toast.
Step 3
Thinly julienne 3 slices of ham. You can substitute with bacon or any other favorite ingredient.
Step 4
We’ll mix all these ingredients to make the patty. For today, I’m making a 2-serving portion. You can save the remaining ingredients for another time. This way, you minimize food waste.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the 2-serving portion of vegetables and crack in 3 eggs. Whisk everything together until well combined. The eggs will help bind the vegetables together.
Step 6
Add 2 pinches of salt to the egg mixture. This enhances the vegetable flavors and helps neutralize any eggy smell.
Step 7
Now, let’s grill the bread. Melt half a tablespoon of cooking oil and a piece of butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. The butter will add a wonderful aroma.
Step 8
Place two slices of bread in the pan and toast them until golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. Crispy bread makes the toast even more delicious.
Step 9
Add another tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan. Spoon the vegetable and egg mixture into the pan, forming a round patty shape. Cook until golden brown on both sides, ensuring the inside is cooked through over medium heat.
Step 10
Spread your desired amount of ketchup and mayonnaise (or mustard sauce) on the toasted bread. The sweet and tangy sauces will make the toast taste even better.
Step 11
Now, place the golden-brown vegetable patty on top of the sauce. It tastes best when assembled while warm.
Step 12
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the vegetable patty. As the sugar melts, it adds a delightful sweetness, creating that authentic street toast flavor.
Step 13
Finally, place the remaining slice of bread on top to complete your nostalgic street toast! Enjoy it warm.
