- Iceberg lettuce was very expensive, so I used regular leaf lettuce; cabbage works well too.
- Instead of bacon, you can use sliced ham, fried eggs, chicken breast, or thin beef bulgogi cuts.
Steps
1. Prepare the ingredients as shown.
Iceberg lettuce was very expensive, so I used regular leaf lettuce. Cabbage is great too.
Instead of bacon, feel free to use sliced ham, fried eggs, chicken breast, or thin beef bulgogi cuts.
2. Toast the sliced bread in a dry pan until golden brown on both sides without adding oil.
3. Cook the bacon in an ungreased pan until nicely browned on both sides.
4. Gently press with paper towels to drain the excess grease.
5. Slice the tomato to about 0.5 cm thick, not too thin.
6. Add all the sauce ingredients and mix them together.
If you have dill pickles, mincing them and adding them makes it even tastier.
7. Spread the sauce evenly over one side of the bread...
Spreading a thin layer of butter before the sauce helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy from the moisture in the ingredients.
If you are not eating it right away and pack it for a lunchbox to eat later, spread butter first so you can enjoy a sandwich with nicely textured bread.
8. Cut the iceberg lettuce (or lettuce) to size, place it on the bread, and top with bacon...

9. Top with tomato at the end...
10. Cover with the remaining sliced bread.
Place a heavy plate on top so the fillings settle together, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap before cutting, and it will slice neatly without falling apart.
