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 imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen — today we’re making dumpling lasagna. 🍤

You’ve probably already seen this one all over your feed — the viral trend of layering dumpling filling with wonton wrappers instead of folding each one by hand, steamed straight in a dish. Most versions blowing up right now are pork, but you know me: I couldn’t resist giving it a seafood spin.

Each layer tucks in a juicy shrimp-and-broccoli filling, then steams into something so silky and spoonable — tender, slippery wrappers, sweet succulent shrimp, spicy chili crisp drizzled on top, and all the coziness of a dish you want to disappear into.

🍝 Random fact: “lasagna” isn’t even originally Italian. The name traces back to laganon, an ancient Greek dish of thin dough sheets that predates Italy claiming it by over 2,000 years.

So really, we’re just the latest in a very long line of people reinventing lasagna — this time, giving it an Asian twist, one shrimp-forward layer at a time. Cozy, elegant, ridiculously satisfying. ✨

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen — today we’re giving French onion soup a serious glow-up. 🧅

Think deeply caramelized onions and rich, beefy flavor — all the soul of the classic — but swap the baguette for chewy tteok rice cakes and (optional) ramen noodles, slicked in a glossy, onion-forward soupy sauce that clings to every bite.  It’s the ultimate mash-up of tteokbokki and French onion soup. 

🧀 Random fact: that iconic cheesy crust you know and love is technically not actually “classic” French onion soup. The cheesy crown wasn’t added until 1831 — for centuries before that, it was just onions, broth, and bread, no cheese in sight.

Here, I’m correcting that oversight immediately. Finish with melty cheese and pull it sky-high, because French food meeting Korean cuisine should always end in a stretch. 🧀

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHandroll bars are finally having their London moment, and as someone who’s spent years happily perched at the counter of New York’s best temaki spots, I’ve been waiting for this. Enter @temakihandrollbar on Maddox Street: sleek, understated and confident enough to call itself exactly what it is.

The signature Temaki roll stole the show. Akami and buttery otoro, crowned with a generous spoonful of caviar and wrapped in nori that shattered with the first bite. That’s the magic of great temaki: it’s all about timing. The contrast between warm, crisp nori and cool, silky fish lasts only moments, which is exactly why it’s served straight into your hands. The otoro melted away almost instantly, while the caviar added just enough briny pop to balance every bite. At £25, it’s an indulgence, but one I’d order again without hesitation.

If raw fish isn’t your thing, don’t worry. The wagyu sliders were rich and satisfying, the soft-shell crab tempura was beautifully crisp, and the aubergine was every bit as memorable.

A welcome addition to Mayfair, and one I’ll happily be returning to.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen… with a rotisserie chicken hack nobody told you about, with a Korean twist! 

Buy a good-quality roasted bird — hand-shred it, making sure to pull out every bone. Boil some carrots, potatoes, and onion until soft. Fold in microwaved multigrain rice (@yangban.official), scallions, gochujang, sesame oil, light soy, and a sprinkle of sugar. Mix it well, like you mean it. And, in no time you’re done!  Wrap it in lettuce or perilla leaf, ssam-style, and eat with your hands.

One chicken. One bag. Big flavor. Dinner that tastes like more effort than it was.
