Korean Street Toast
Korean street toast is this insane sandwich with a fluffy egg patty, a crispy cabbage fritter, ham, cheese, and brioche bread - plus they sprinkle sugar on it, which sounds weird but makes total sense when you taste it. The cabbage fritter is what sets it apart from regular egg sandwiches; it adds this savory crunch that balances all the soft textures.

- 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 1/4 medium yellow onion thinly sliced

Instructions
