Toasto

It took me some time to recover from the depression I experienced after Korea's devastating loss to Argentina, so I apologize for the delay in this post.  Korea 2014!

As mentioned before, Joe and I wanted to honor our teams by cooking the food from their countries.  Since the South Korea game was in the morning, we decided to do breakfast.  Wait... breakfast in Korea?  Isn't that just rice and soup and kimchi?  Yes, the traditional breakfast does, but there is a food that the Koreans call "Toasto" (basically a fobby toast).  It's super buttered toast with a veggie omelet, lots of ketchup, and sugar in between.  I don't know how you can go wrong with that!

Toasto:

2 finely chopped carrots
1/2 finely chopped cabbage
12 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Buttered and toasted white bread
Ketchup
Brown sugar

First, finely chop the carrots and cabbage.


Mix the eggs, vegetables, salt, and pepper in a big bowl.  In medium-high heat, and oil the pan with butter to make individual omelettes in the size of the bread or a big omelette if you can flip it.  Cook until egg is cooked through.  Toast and butter all sides of the white bread.  Put an omelette on the toast, liberally squeeze ketchup on top, sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar, depending on how sweet you like it, on top of the ketchup and enjoy!  A super easy, fattening, sugary "Korean" breakfast.


Down it with a glass of Korean rice wine or a few shots of soju, and you'll really feel Korean in the morning!
