Steps
Thinly shred 150g of cabbage using a slicer or knife.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, one egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the cabbage and egg mixture vigorously until it becomes foamy and aerated; this creates the 'dough' texture.
Lightly oil a square frying pan and heat over medium heat.
Pour the cabbage mixture into the pan, shaping it into a square to resemble a slice of bread.
Cook without touching until the bottom hardens and sets. Flip the cabbage bread carefully to cook the other side until golden brown.
Remove the cabbage bread from the pan. To prevent mayonnaise from melting, briefly chill the 'bread' in the freezer or refrigerator until cool to the touch.
Cut the square cabbage bread in half to create two slices.
Spread mayonnaise on one slice, then layer with ham and a slice of cheese.
Add a final dollop of mayonnaise and top with the second slice of cabbage bread.
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve.
Notes
Chilling the cabbage bread before assembly is a key tip from the creator to ensure the mayonnaise stays creamy rather than melting into the hot cabbage. Using a square pan helps mimic the shape of traditional sandwich bread.
