KOREAN STREET TOAST

GILGEORI TOAST

Ingredients

Makes 1 sandwich

 

  • 90g white cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 50g carrot, julienned
  • 30g spring onion, julienned
  • 1 Tbsp chop parsley
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 2 sliced Shokupan (Japanese milk bread)
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 2 sliced cured ham
  • 2 slice of salami
  • 1 slice of Monterey jack or other mild cheese
  • Ketchup and mayonnaise

Method

In a large bowl add cabbage, carrot, spring onion, parsley, sea salt and pepper. Massage the vegetables well with your hand and set aside to soften for 1 minute.

 

Then add the egg and mix well with a spoon.

Heat up the large pan over medium heat, then add about 1 tbsp of butter. Let butter melted and swell the pan to coat the pan with butter. Place the 2 slices of Shokupan. Let the bread soak up the butter and let it toasted golden brown and get a little crispy. Add another tablespoon of butter, then flip the bread and let it toasted for another side.

When the bread is toasted on both sides, take them out to the pan, place on the tray or plate, sprinkle the sugar over both toasted bread (just one side of the toast).

Heat the remaining butter in the same pan over medium heat.

Add the cabbage mixture, while the mix is cooking, with a spatula roughly shape the cabbage mixture like the size of toast by pushing the edge up and over the top. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip it over with spatula and add more butter if needed.

Place cheese, ham, and salami on the top of the cabbage mixture, cook for about 2-3 minutes until underneath the cabbage mixture turns golden brown.

Place the cooked cabbage patty with ham and cheese on the top of the bread. Then drizzle the ketchup and mayonnaise as you like. Place another slice of bread, sugared side down.

Serve immediately

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageIt was a pleasure sharing my story with Bella Wu for her project “Out of the Shadows”, which spotlights women forging their own paths.

From engineering, to finance, to reinventing myself through the kitchen, food media, and television — my journey has always come back to joy, authenticity, and embracing both wins and failures. 

Today, success feels quieter: peace, the people I love, and the simple things beyond the spotlight.

And, I’m so proud of Bella — Even while still in high school, she has already founded evermorehues, a sustainable candle company that supports female entrepreneurs. Her creativity and drive at such a young age are truly inspiring.

Thank you Bella and the @outoftheshadows.bw community for sharing my story. 💛

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imagePart of my K-Quick Recipe Series — quick, bold Korean dishes from my newest cookbook!
Savory. Earthy. Umami heaven 🍲🔥

My comfort stew of choice — loaded with tofu, courgette, potatoes, and spicy chilies. Serve it with rice or next to a sizzling BBQ spread.

I make this warming little stew on repeat—it’s a bubbling bowl of comfort that’s as nourishing as it is bold. I always sneak in extra tofu (my fave!), and if you can get your hands on Korean zucchini, do it—they’re sweeter, crunchier, and totally up the game. Trust me, this one’s a hug in a bowl with serious flavor cred.

Comment Umami for the recipe.

Save this for your cozy night rotation 🍲🔥
