Cooking tips 💡

• Cumin powder is a key spice that gives Egg in Hell its unique Middle Eastern/Latin fusion flavor, but it can be omitted if you're unfamiliar with the taste.
• Mixing gochujang and gochugaru into the tomato base creates a spicy and refreshing sauce that suits Korean palates, making this Western dish more approachable.
• Even stale rye bread or white bread that has been sitting in the freezer can be revived by lightly toasting it in an air fryer or pan, then topping with the sauce.
