This sandwich brings me back to my college years. I used to eat this as a breakfast, but this would make a great lunchbox menu.
Today I’m remaking one of my favorite Street foods from Korea. I used to eat this toast almost every morning during my college years. It was sold at 2 chon won, a little less than 2 dollars. This was 20 years ago, so I’m not sure if they still sell this on the streets. This sandwich is typically made with soft white bread, but I happened to have bagels at home today. Sugar was optional, and of course, I always went for the sugar.
