Recipe

Slice the onion thinly and set aside. If using cabbage, slice it thinly for texture.
Heat butter (or vegetable oil) in a pan until melted, then add the sliced onion and cook slowly until golden brown.
Once the onion is well-cooked, push it to one side of the pan, add a little oil to the empty space, and crack in the eggs.
Scramble the eggs with chopsticks until fully cooked, then mix them evenly with the onions.
Push the mixture to one side again, pour the curry powder onto the bare bottom of the pan, and lightly sauté it in the oil to bring out its aroma.
When the curry scent rises, combine everything together and stir-fry until the curry flavor is evenly distributed throughout. Turn off the heat.
Fill a warmed bun with the mixture and some cabbage strips to make a sandwich, or serve over hot rice for a comforting rice bowl.

Sauté sliced onions in butter (or vegetable oil) until golden and caramelized.
Add eggs and scramble them, then mix with the onions. Sauté the curry powder in the pan’s oil before combining everything.
Serve the finished stir-fry in a warmed bun with cabbage for a sandwich, or atop hot rice as a rice bowl.

Cooking tips

The longer you cook the onion over low heat, the more caramelized it becomes, bringing out its natural sweetness and deep flavor.
For a spicy kick, sauté a pinch of chili powder in the oil before adding the curry powder to create a fragrant chili oil base.
Never sprinkle curry powder directly on the ingredients—always sauté it in the oil first to eliminate rawness and enhance its rich, nutty aroma.
If you have leftover sausages or ham, slice them thinly and sauté them with the onions for added depth of flavor.
While microwaving bread makes it soft temporarily, it quickly loses moisture and becomes hard—best enjoyed immediately after warming.
