Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 oz cabbage, shredded
- 1 tbsp carrots, shredded
- 2 tbsp onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- pepper, to taste
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 slices spam, about 1 cm thick
- ketchup, to taste
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 slices white bread
Equipment
Instructions
- Mix the filling. Shred the cabbage and carrot and chop the onion. Combine in a bowl with the gochugaru, pepper, and egg, and mix well with a fork.
- Crisp the Spam. Slice two roughly 1 cm pieces of Spam and cook in a small pan over medium heat until the edges crisp. Set aside.
- Cook the omelette. Butter the pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture in a circle about the size of your bread. Cook until the edges set, about a minute, then flip and cook 30 seconds more.
- Add the bread. Lay one slice of bread on the egg, then flip so the bread is down and the egg faces up.
- Season and layer. Squeeze ketchup over the egg, sprinkle the sugar evenly, and add the Spam. Move quickly so the bread toasts without burning, or use the pan’s residual heat.
- Finish. Top with the second slice of bread, flip to toast that side, then serve hot.
Notes
- Shred the cabbage and carrot finely so the omelette holds together when you flip it.
- Keep the omelette about the size of your bread slice so every bite has filling.
- Start with a small pinch of sugar; the ketchup and carrots already add sweetness.
- Lower the heat or use residual pan warmth at the toasting stage so the bread crisps instead of burning.
- Leave the Spam out for the classic veggie-and-egg version, or swap in ham or bacon.
