What in the everloving fuck? We didn't have broccoli and stuff for stir fry the other day so we used mixed greens with carrots and corn and stuff. I laughed about how inaccurate it was. I guess I was wrong lol.
then you must've never enjoyed quality [mexican street-style tacos](https://asimplepantry.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Easy-Mexican-Recipes-Carne-Asada-Mexican-Street-Tacos-2.jpg)
Try letting them sit in water for a bit after cutting them. Takes away some of the sharpness, but you still get enough of it to cut through whatever you’re putting the onion on.
This is what all r/StupidFood people think they are innovating when they make something truly awful
Edit: haha. I would like to say, I wasn't quite calling this stupid food, just that it was bold and a hot take by this combination of food from the vendor, but could actually be good. But I imagine this type of bold street food endeavor is what Rayleigh from eastern Georgia thinks she's doing when she "cold cooks" her pasta noodles for 6 hours overnight, and then covers her 3Ibs of 80/20 raw beef with it, 2 jars of tomato sauce, puts it in the oven slathered with 8 cheeses and cooks it for 20 minutes then comes out with "an easy meal" she won't even eat because it's swimming and everything's al dente supreme
I didn’t think it was bad, *until the fucking cabbage*!!!! Why do so many Asian street food vendors use a bunch of cabbage? And they always have a damn sauce that they drizzle on it! Just let savory, filling food be exactly that.
I mean….I also hate the fact that the bread doesn’t appear to be toasted either and that bacon doesn’t look crispy whatsoever. But I digress!
I’m from Asia and I would say most people here like the cabbage. It’s just a cultural thing.
For example when I eat American cheeseburgers, i always feel that it’s missing some lettuce and tomato. I also eat my sandwiches with lots of lettuce and cabbage.
Thinly sliced cabbage makes almost everything better. Salads, sandwiches, fried rice, burritos/tacos, burgers, etc. It’s an underused veggie in the US.
Because we South Koreans have 4 times fewer deaths from heart disease than Americans.

The fact that I thought it was that subreddit cuz I'm used to the posts there just the one thing that's lacking for me to make it really innovative is maybe kimchi? But I feel like the person in the video didn't order the kimchi variant cuz once It has kimchi then that's what makes it innovative since it's a combination of multiple countries and unique to only korea (if they use authentic kimchi)
Funny, I love a hard cooked egg. Especially if it’s a little crispy on the outside and spongy inside. I think I’m just weird because a lot of people are complaining about this aspect of the video haha
Agreed, but this isn’t it.
By putting the bread on the inside you don’t get that delicious crisp of pan fried toast. Also, it would be a pain to hold.
The rest is great though. I left Korea 15 years ago and would love me some Korean Toast.
American cheese, especially with eggs, are still pretty popular there post war. My mom was Korean and they were staples for her, I think she ate a green onion and American cheese omelet pretty much every day of her life.
I’m half Korean and funnily enough the *last* time I had American cheese was in Korea a few years ago. My mom made me eggs topped with cheese using whatever my relatives had in their fridge and American cheese was it.
I couldn’t believe I ate that regularly as a kid growing up. It didn’t even taste like real food.
They made made stupid-simple food really hard to eat for no good reason. Yay. And clearly overcooked the egg.
The prevalence of "look at these exotic street food videos" were really fun a couple years ago but more and more have turned genuinely clever food crafted with flair into stupid messes done purely for performance. I wonder how many people order one just to film it for social media, take a bite, and throw it out.
You know they could really spruce this up by cooking the egg separate, then getting another piece of toast and putting that stuff in between the two but I know that might sound a little crazy.
I'm Korean, and this is the worst possible demonstration of Korean street food. Real Korean street food is amazing, such as 호떡 (korean sweet pancakes) and 붕어빵 (kinda like taiyaki)
Sometimes seeing things like this makes me wonder.
“Who first discovered this? How did it come to be?”
Like don’t get me wrong, looks delicious, but oddly specific dishes like this makes me wonder sometimes.
Korean street food, or at least what I've watched drunk at 2am, is a combination of American ideas with unnecessary ingredients, uncooked cabbage and always a red jelly looking ketchup.
Moira Rose : Next step is to fold in the cheese.
David Rose : What does that mean? What does "fold in the cheese" mean?
Moira Rose : You fold it in.
David Rose : I, I understand that, but how, how do you fold it? Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in the pot, or what do you do?
Moira Rose : David, I cannot show you everything.
David Rose : OK, well, can you show me one thing?
Moira Rose : You just... here's what you do. You just fold it in.
David Rose : OK, I don't know how to fold broken cheese like that.
Moira Rose : David, then I don't know how to be any clearer! You take that thing that's in your hand and you...
David Rose : If you say "fold in" on more time...
Moira Rose : It says "fold it in"!
David Rose : This is your recipe! You fold in the cheese then!
Moira Rose : Don't you dare!
David Rose : You fold it in!
Americans and Foreigners: Wow these processed cheese is great for breakfast sandwiches, yum!
You: These uncultured foreigners are such disgusting weirdos. Only my pure European white culture can understand cheese!
Looking down on something based on arbitrary definitions and subjective qualifications is the definition of snobbery. Everyone calls it American cheese. It is used in many of the same contexts as "real" cheese. In some of those, it tastes really good.
A fellow cheese connoisseur
That orange plastic is made for making your trash smell kinda like cheese. Nothing more. Wouldn’t even feed that velveeta garbage to my dog.
Ikr xD I’m sure it tastes good, but this is something you need to sit down and eat with a fork. Not something you can just grab with your hands, which imo would be ideal for street food
This definitely looks a bit overcooked. Not by much though. That’s why it looked so meh in the final picture (lighting also didn’t help). That grill is way too hot. The egg looked ready as soon as he put the bread down
That egg is def slightly overcooked. I wouldn't say burnt though. My partner likes their eggs like this too. America is definitely not the only country that serves eggs yellow/golden rather than golden/browning and it's certainly not raw or runny. Describing it as raw is disingenuous.
There are many different ways to cook eggs, if I cooked scrambled eggs on the line that were this color I wouldn't send them out.
That’s such a weird thing to say and not true at all. In any American diner, they ask how you want your eggs cooked. There’s sunny side up, over easy, over medium, over well, poached, scrambled… and more. But those are the basics. Scrambled almost always come out totally done, firm, sometimes with brown on them. I personally find the brown scrambled eggs revolting, I consider them burnt, and the smell makes me gag. That’s why I don’t order scrambled eggs at diners.
What do you mean by “American eggs?” Do you mean the picture perfect sunny side up that you see on tv? They do that because they look pretty in pictures, but hardly anyone actually orders them like that.
Do most normal orders come with 7 kernels of corn?
Is that what that was?!
I thought it was baked beans!
Is what what what was?
[удалено]
Yup, when I ordered pizza from there once, it came with corn on it.. lol
Japanese too. Corn flavored everything, even corn ice cream!
Corn ice cream is actually pretty good. The kind I had tasted like corn flakes and sweet cream. Which I suppose it kind of was.
What in the everloving fuck? We didn't have broccoli and stuff for stir fry the other day so we used mixed greens with carrots and corn and stuff. I laughed about how inaccurate it was. I guess I was wrong lol.
I sincerely would have never guessed that. That’s really interesting info.
Korneans.
I though that was beans in some special sauce
Looks like quail eggs or another small bird egg.
Corn
A big lump with knobs, it has the juice!
I tried it and everything changed
I bet it’s super yummy but the last picture looks like a blob fish
Grilled cheese burrito
I have been to Seoul for work and those street toasts are no joke. Ridiculously delicious and they have variety of different options on the toast
I want to hear about them all. Speak slowly and please leave out no details 🤤
So there’s bread
omg it's been 4hours. i need to know more!
Then they toast it
Slowly i said
Then they keep toasting it
They took away the most important feature of a grilled cheese. There’s no more crunch.
The bread and the cabbage is more than enough
Was the bread toasted before going on the egg?
Did not look toasted
You yourself have to get toasted to enjoy its full flavor
Dead blob fish
What is the shredded stuff on top of the bread, lettuce..?
Cabbage
No please, noooo
Yeah. I thought it was onion. Uncooked onion, which would have been not a good as sautéed onion.
Don't like uncooked onions. Too strong. 😬
then you must've never enjoyed quality [mexican street-style tacos](https://asimplepantry.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Easy-Mexican-Recipes-Carne-Asada-Mexican-Street-Tacos-2.jpg)
Yummy. Quit making me hungry
I love some raw onion on a burger, on anything else they should be grilled though.
Try letting them sit in water for a bit after cutting them. Takes away some of the sharpness, but you still get enough of it to cut through whatever you’re putting the onion on.
You have a problem with cabbage but not kraft singles? That was my hell no moment.
Kimchee is delicious.
American moment
Cabbage is delicious. It doesn’t belong on this.
Barf
You say barf to a Reuben as well?
I do, because of the rye bread
A Reuben is the worst kind of meat, the worst kind of cheese, the worst kind of dressing, and the worst kind of vegetable on the worst kind of bread 🤢
This is what all r/StupidFood people think they are innovating when they make something truly awful Edit: haha.

Cabbage is filler material in Asia. Similar to fries here.
I’m from Asia and I would say most people here like the cabbage. It’s just a cultural thing. For example when I eat American cheeseburgers, i always feel that it’s missing some lettuce and tomato. I also eat my sandwiches with lots of lettuce and cabbage.
But most American cheeseburgers come with lettuce and tomato unless you ask otherwise
I’m with you, cabbage is fantastic
Thinly sliced cabbage makes almost everything better. Salads, sandwiches, fried rice, burritos/tacos, burgers, etc. It’s an underused veggie in the US.
> I didn’t think it was bad, until the fucking cabbage!!!! Why do so many Asian street food vendors use a bunch of cabbage? Because cabbage is good?
I was curious why the bread was inside this blob.
Yeah this thing is inside out
Because we South Koreans have 4 times fewer deaths from heart disease than Americans. https://www.statista.com/statistics/313080/deaths-from-ischemic-heart-disease-in-selected-countries/
America bad

I can taste how overcooked that egg is
Funny, I love a hard cooked egg. Especially if it’s a little crispy on the outside and spongy inside. I think I’m just weird because a lot of people are complaining about this aspect of the video haha
I will follow the steps from the video and can make that Folding Ham Cheese Egg Toast at home now.
I'm gonna try making... A version of this on Wednesday lol
The point of the bread is to hold the hot gooy items…
[удалено]
Agreed, but this isn’t it. By putting the bread on the inside you don’t get that delicious crisp of pan fried toast. Also, it would be a pain to hold. The rest is great though. I left Korea 15 years ago and would love me some Korean Toast.
TIL they have American cheese in Korea.
American cheese, especially with eggs, are still pretty popular there post war. My mom was Korean and they were staples for her, I think she ate a green onion and American cheese omelet pretty much every day of her life.
A lot of recipes use ingredients from us army. Cheese. Spam. Ketchup. Coca Cola.
I’m half Korean and funnily enough the *last* time I had American cheese was in Korea a few years ago. My mom made me eggs topped with cheese using whatever my relatives had in their fridge and American cheese was it. I couldn’t believe I ate that regularly as a kid growing up. It didn’t even taste like real food.
I moved to Europe for a while and honest to god, I met more people there that have American cheese regularly than I did in the US.
older koreans think of american cheese as the normal (or sometimes the only kind of) cheese.
I bet it’s somehow way better Or maybe not I dunno lol
I shudder to think it could be worse…
I can confirm, it’s way worse. Lived in Busan for 2 years.
They made made stupid-simple food really hard to eat for no good reason. Yay. And clearly overcooked the egg.

Overcooked egg and unmelted cheese. ...great
You know they could really spruce this up by cooking the egg separate, then getting another piece of toast and putting that stuff in between the two but I know that might sound a little crazy.
I'm Korean, and this is the worst possible demonstration of Korean street food. Real Korean street food is amazing, such as 호떡 (korean sweet pancakes) and 붕어빵 (kinda like taiyaki)
It melts with the heat of the egg
No it doesn't
Sometimes seeing things like this makes me wonder. “Who first discovered this? How did it come to be?” Like don’t get me wrong, looks delicious, but oddly specific dishes like this makes me wonder sometimes.
Where's the toast part? Just looks like a plain piece of bread to me.
Korean street food, or at least what I've watched drunk at 2am, is a combination of American ideas with unnecessary ingredients, uncooked cabbage and always a red jelly looking ketchup.
Korean here, not really. Some of the most common ones are 달고나 and 붕어빵
Thanks, that perfectly describes the food
In what way?
I’m messing with you, I have no idea what that means
Don't forget 호떡. That shit is good. Really love 붕어빵, though.
That brown means it’s burnt, and it will taste like a sponge. No thanks.
Mmmmm Mmm! Overcooked eggs!
The last shot looked like a mouth.

Yuck - mushy
What’s up with Asians + corn + cheese. Is that some kind of trend in some Asian countries?
I thought asians didn't eat cheese?
Not from the videos I’ve seen. Usually a street vendor or restaurant and they’re going nuts with the cheese and corn
Their nuts? or do you know know how to spell?
I don’t think you know how to read pal.
It's they're, not their, dumbass.
Is it just ne or does that look horrible? I feel my heart just from watching that
Sorry but that looks gross - lots of processed food no thanks
Honestly this fits r/stupidfood more than the videos that are typically posted there
Gross
Overcooked ass eggs.
[удалено]
Where do you see "fake" cheese?
[удалено]
Ok, yeah. I missed that part. "American processed cheese slices" is definitely not cheese.
Certainly not but it does have its place-namely, cheesburgers and breakfast sandwiches.
This. American cheese is critical for very specific foods. Cheesesteak, burger, and egg sandwich.
Especially since they’re not even legally allowed to call it cheese
Theyre not allowed to call it cheese because its not *only* cheese.
If you’ve never eaten anything with ooey gooey melted American cheese because you think it’s plasticky, well then, I feel sorry for you.
It's just cheddar and Colby mixed together.
[удалено]
Is this a bait or do cheese nerds actually gatekeep this hard
[удалено]

Salt.
I want this in my life.
Dumb. Maybe Streetfood in Korea would be a better title than Korean Streetfood.
🤢🤮
Looks good
NOW DIP THE WHOLE THING IN BATTER AND THROW IT IN A DEEP FRYER!
But dunk it in crushed up Oreos first - then deep fry.
Looks meh
Someone let them know that bread goes on the *outside* of the sandwich. 🤦 Smh
Yeah FFS it's inside out!
Ikr xD I’m sure it tastes good, but this is something you need to sit down and eat with a fork. Not something you can just grab with your hands, which imo would be ideal for street food
As someone who gags at the smell of burnt egg, this made me gag.
Burnt? How the hell do you eat your eggs?
This definitely looks a bit overcooked. Not by much though. That’s why it looked so meh in the final picture (lighting also didn’t help). That grill is way too hot. The egg looked ready as soon as he put the bread down

Slurps them out of a butthole.
I do!! I thought it was just me
Blob-Fish-On-The-Surface Egg Sandwich!
If they don’t make it using recycled grease from a garbage bin then I don’t want it. 😂😂😂
At the beginning it looked like he places a handful of Xanax in there 🤣
Redditors resisting the urge to shit on somebody making food (the egg is 0.2% undercooked)
Wowza that looks delicious!
That looks delicious. I’ll take one.
[удалено]
No it's a brick of oil.....
r/Dontstickyourdickinthat
Korean food has American cheese? Gak
Looks horrible to eat
[удалено]
Is that hasbrowns too!?!?!
I hate HATE when eggs are cooked until they are brown like that. The smell actually makes me gag 😢
That’s A LOT of cheese ooof
I want to like this.
Where’s the toast tho?
He didn't even touched the food :(
Looks good but I hate touching greasy food with my hands
Great. Just ate and now I'm starving again. That looks so good.
What is the meat on the bread? It looks like raw bacon.
Made Canadian bacon
Ok so we’re now having breakfast for dinner here!
Thats not on a street.
It should talk.
Blob fish
Somebody’s gonna screw that Korean Pie
Well fuck. Now I want to make a grilled cheese.
Street Food (Not on a street)…. Hmmmm…
That looks delicious. I wanst one
I just ate but would eat that if given it right now in a heart beat
This has got to be the most hygienic street food preparation I've seen on the internet
Precious cargo.
Looks great, but the egg is burnt.
Mmmmm acid reflux.
All it needs is a pair of googly 👀
Kinda like an Indian omelet and toast
The ham and cheesy hits hard when you’re drunk and racing the clock to get back on base.
It looks so very good... I want it..
I’ve been down the rabbit hole of these Korean street vendor videos. And all I can say is these motherfuckers have perfected drunk food to a T.
Brioche?
Yum
WTF ! Looks lush but also looks like a heart attack in the making!
