What is Korean egg drop?

So an egg drop is a Korean sandwich. It’s Korean food with egg on top. Uh, duh, right?

But what is it, exactly?

It’s basically an egg sandwich that is named after the restaurant that popularized this particular sandwich. (Yes, the name of the restaurant is EGGDROP.) According to Preview, these sandwiches are a favorite breakfast food in Korea.

If you’ve watched the K-drama Hospital Playlist, you would have seen the restaurant there:

And apparently, that’s what made Filipinos notice the sandwich… and crave it!

What is inside the Korean egg drop?

The usual Korean egg drop ingredients are the bread, scrambled egg (obviously), your choice of meat like tuna, and bacon, and a sweetened mayo sauce. Some add sriracha for an extra kick. When the sandwich has been assembled, you can sprinkle it with parsley or other herbs as well as more of the mayo sauce.

What bread do you use for Korean egg drop?

One particular ingredient that makes Korean egg drop authentic is the bread. If you’re not eating the sandwich with thick brioche bread, it’s not real! 

This particular bread adds to the flavor of the sandwich thanks to its slightly sweet flavor and light and airy texture that comes out when it gets toasted.

Why is this particular sandwich so appealing?

Well, aside from Pinoys really loving Korean culture, we have two theories on why this particular Korean sandwich is so popular.

1) It’s so nice to photograph!
