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 imageImpala, Soho. From @super8restaurants , the team behind Kiln and Brat — you already know the pedigree. What you don’t expect is just how far the menu travels: North African, Mediterranean, shiso, wood fire, oxtail. Chef @meedu_saad is doing something genuinely singular here, and the room feels like it knows it. Go hungry, ask your server what to order, and surrender to it.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageEvery summer, Chesterton Polo at Hurlingham Park is one of those dates I simply refuse to miss. Quintessentially British, utterly glamorous, and honestly — I haven’t the faintest idea about the rules, but who cares? The thundering hooves, the mallet swings, the collective gasp of the crowd… it’s pure electricity, even to a complete polo novice like me.

And the food? Chef’s kiss. The afternoon tea and scones alone are worth the ticket.

Did you know that polo is one of the oldest team sports in the world — first played in Persia over 2,500 years ago as military training for the king’s elite cavalry? Thousands of warriors, one ball. Somehow it evolved into this gorgeous, sun-drenched afternoon with scones. I’d say that’s progress. 🐴

Thank you to the wonderful @polointhepark team for having me — see you on the lawn again next year!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageToday we’re making bulgogi, the K-BBQ dish that started so many people’s love affair with Korean food. And honestly? Once you make it at home, you’ll never look back. 
Quick fun fact: bulgogi literally translates to “fire meat” — bul (fire) + gogi (meat). Its roots trace all the way back to dish called “maekjeok”, seasoned beef skewers grilled over open flames during the Goguryeo era, more than 2,000 years ago. So when you’re cooking this, you’re cooking history. No wonder it’s such a beloved gateway into Korean cuisine.
Here’s how to make it:
Start with thinly sliced Korean-style bulgogi beef — you can grab it pre-sliced at any Korean grocery store (this is the move, trust me).
For the marinade, throw garlic, ginger, Asian pear, soy sauce, anchovy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, soju, sugar, and a crack of black pepper into a food processor and blitz until silky smooth. The pear is the secret weapon — it tenderizes the meat AND adds a gorgeous natural sweetness. ✨
Pour the marinade into a zip-top bag with the beef, give it a good massage, and let those flavors really sink in.
Heat your griddle or pan until SCREAMING hot, then sear the bulgogi until edges are charred. That caramelization = flavor.
I love serving this the proper, authentic way — with ssam (lettuce wraps), a scoop of warm rice, a smear of ssamjang, loaded with bulgogi, and then topped with pickled radish. Wrap it all up, pop the whole thing in your mouth in one bite (yes, the whole thing!), and thank me later.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageThey said I didn’t look like a chef. I said, “ Watch me feed Madison Square Garden and Citi Field!” 🍗

And with the @nyknicks in the NBA Finals, MSG has never been louder — or better fed. 
There’s something deeply satisfying about 20,000 New Yorkers eating Korean fried chicken while cheering on their team. That’s the Seoul Bird dream, right there.

So honored to be featured in @womanaroundtown, sharing a little of my story — from Columbia engineering grad to Wall Street, to walking away from it all to go to culinary school (my parents were horrified), to cooking at Michelin-starred kitchens, to becoming the first female Iron Chef UK. 

None of it was the plan. All of it was worth it.

Seoul Bird was born from a love of Korean street food — and a belief that it deserved a global stage. From London to New York, we’re just getting started.

And yes — there’s a new book (my 4th!) coming in Nov— “Mukja: Let’s Eat!”
Head to WomanAroundTown.com for the full interview. 
Go Knicks!
