Toast bread on both sides in an olive-oiled pan, spread on mayonnaise, then scrambled eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and pepper pepper pepper — #avocadoopensandwich
When I first arrived in Korea, I always dealt honestly with my Korean friends and tried to help with whatever they asked. The most common parting phrase here is 'Nail do orita, I will come again tomorrow,' but most never came. Since most of my friends made this kind of promise before leaving, I soon mistakenly believed that all my close friends failed to keep their word. But after some time passed, I came to understand that this kind of Korean phrase or promise wasn't meant literally — it was simply a courtesy. Of course, the peace and trust between friends remained solid all the same.

Nail do orita — 'I'll come again tomorrow, too'
The origins of the Korean-style greeting 'Let's grab a meal sometime'
1. Brush the bread with olive oil and toast both sides until crisp.
2. Combine 2 eggs, 50ml milk, salt, and pepper, pour into a pan, and make soft, moist scrambled eggs.
3. Peel the ripened avocado and slice neatly.
4. Spread mayonnaise on the bread from step 1, then top with the scrambled eggs from step 2, the cherry tomatoes, and the avocado. Sprinkle with chopped basil and a little pepper.
