This just might be the breakfast sandwich of your dreams. Sold all over the streets of Korea, these popular grab-and-go egg and vegetable sandwiches are sweet, salty, savory and filling. Vendors prepare huge batches and sell them stuffed in paper cups so you can eat as you stroll the streets. Cabbage is a gilgeori staple, and since I always seem to have a random chunk of cabbage hanging out in my fridge I love making this to use it up. Besides the eggs, the rest of the fixings and toppings are the supporting cast for the cabbage. I like ham and carrot, but you can use any other vegetables or meat, or omit the meat all together for a vegetarian version.

Ingredients

Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the cabbage, green onions, carrot and salt. Add the eggs and mix to combine.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Once melted add the cabbage mixture. Cook on low until the bottom is set and you are able to flip it, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the egg is completely set, about 2 minutes. Remove the cabbage pancake from the pan and set aside.
- Place the ham or Spam in a medium nonstick skillet over high heat and cook until crisp on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. To the same pan add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, toast your bread until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Now it's time to build the sandwiches! Cut the cabbage pancake in half and place each half on a slice of toasted bread. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Add a slice of ham on top. Drizzle the remaining 2 slices of bread with ketchup, Kewpie mayonnaise and sriracha and place them on top of the ham to make 2 sandwiches. Enjoy!
