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 imageThe martini is getting a spicy glow-up. 🍸🔥

From Caprese salads turned into martinis to green curry and saffron-spiced twists. Bartenders everywhere are shaking things up. 

So of course, I had to make my own version. 🇰🇷

Meet the Dirty Kimchi Martini…bold, briny, and just the right amount of rebellious. 

Instead of olive brine, I’m using kimchi brine for that spicy-tangy kick and hit of umami you won’t forget. 

Shaken with soju and a splash of dry vermouth, rimmed with gochugaru, and topped with cucumber kimchi. 

Savory. Spicy. Seoul-fully sippable. ✨

The kind of cocktail that sparks conversation. Perfect with your favorite salty snack or when you want to impress your foodie friends.

Drop a “🍸” if you’d try it!👇

@ocadouk just launched a Korean aisle with some of my favorite ingredients and I couldn’t be more excited!  🇰🇷 To mark this moment, I had to share my Korean Fried Chicken (or Dak Gangjeong) recipe. This dish is famous for its shatteringly thin, crispy crust and addictive sweet-spicy glaze. At my restaurant @SeoulBirdUK, it’s our signature.

Unlike Western-style fried chicken, this version uses a wet batter for that ultra-crisp, glossy coating. It’s this signature texture that’s made Korean Fried Chicken a global sensation. 

Then comes the magic: gochujang, Korea’s fermented chili paste made from chili flakes, soybeans, and glutinous rice—the secret to its deep, savory heat. 🤫

Serves 4

Ingredients:
900g boneless skin-on chicken thighs (or skinless), cut into 2.5cm pieces
125g potato starch
1.5–2.6l vegetable or other neutral oil

For the Batter Mix
90g potato starch
30g plain lour
2½ tsp onion powder
2½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sea or kosher salt

For the Spicy Chicken Sauce
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chilli paste)
2 tbsp runny honey, to taste
65ml soy sauce
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp grated garlic
1 tbsp roasted sesame oil

To Serve
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
1 red chilli, thinly sliced

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageUkrainian food is having a London moment…and Tatar Bunar in Shoreditch is leading the way. 🇺🇦

From delicate seabass carpaccio and soulful fish yushka to golden lamb cheburek and creamy oxtail banush, every dish feels like a warm embrace.

Co-owner and Chef @alexcooperua brings the heart of southern Ukraine to the city — generous plates, bold flavors, and a quiet kind of elegance.  And, you could feel co-owner Anna Andriienko’s love, care, and passion in the room @annaadriienko.  She also hand curated all of the fun ceramics and furniture from Ukraine.  

The room is gorgeous, rustic, yet modern…  and the terrace is quite romantic. 

The pickled tomatoes alone are worth the visit. 🍅✨

Honest food, made with soul.

Another unforgettable bite in London’s ever-evolving food scene. 🍷

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWhat if I told you…I eat out a lot as a chef. 👩🏻‍🍳

And @legado_ldn is my new favorite Spanish restaurant in London. 🇪🇸

From @nieves_barragan1 , the Michelin-starred chef behind Sabor, Legado (meaning legacy) celebrates Spain’s regional flavors with heart, soul, and precision.

We kicked things off with their signature three-sip serves, each inspired by a different region, before diving into Quisquillas de Cádiz — delicate blue-belly prawns dressed in citrus, sesame, and coriander olive oil.

Then came the piquillo goat’s cheese tempura…light, crispy, creamy…truly addictive!

The showstopper? Segovian suckling pig. Golden crackling, tender meat, and so soft it’s carved tableside with a plate.

Rounded out with chicory with anchovy and Manchego, tomato with bottarga, and prawn-stuffed squid in ink sauce.

And to finish, the Pastel Vasco with sour cherry jam…buttery, flaky, and just tart enough to keep you wanting one more bite. 🍒

@legado_ldn @nieves_barragan1 thank you so much for the incredible meal! Can’t wait to see what’s next on the menu. ❤️👩🏻‍🍳

📍 Legado | Shoreditch, London
