Are you ready? Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your very own Korean Egg Sandwich:

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or, if you’re feeling adventurous, go for a spicy mayo!)
2 slices of hearty bread (white, whole grain, or even sourdough)
A handful of fresh spinach or lettuce
Sliced cucumbers or radishes (because crunch is essential!)
Optional toppings: kimchi for a zing, or avocado for creamy goodness!

Steps:

Beat those Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Give it a good whisking – we want some air in there for fluffiness!
Cook ’em Up: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a dab of oil or butter. Pour in your egg mixture and let it sit for about 20 seconds before gently stirring to scramble. This is the part where you can imagine yourself on a cooking show, flipping and stirring like a pro! Cook until the eggs are just set – we don’t want them rubbery.
Toast the Bread: While those eggs are working their magic, toast your slices of bread. Nothing like the smell of crispy bread to make you feel instantly at home!
Assemble your Masterpiece: Spread the mayonnaise on one slice of toast. Add a generous layer of the scrambled eggs, then pile on the spinach, cucumbers, or any other fun toppings you fancy. Top it off with the second slice of toast.
Slice and Snack: Cut your sandwich in half (diagonal makes it look fancier, right?), plate it up, and get ready to savor every bite!
