2. To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat it over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the egg mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

4. In the same pan, add the sliced ham and toast them a little bit.
5. To assemble, sprinkle a generous pinch of sugar on the bottom bread. On top of that, add a slice of cheese, egg, ham, and cabbage. Depending on your taste, drizzle with some ketchup, mustard, or sriracha. Top with the other half of the bread. Enjoy~!
