Tongan Sandwich

Cultural Context

Originating from the islands of Tonga, the Tongan Sandwich is a beloved staple that reflects the island's love for hearty, simple meals. Traditionally made with canned corned beef, it embodies the resourcefulness of Tongan cuisine, often enjoyed during gatherings or as a quick lunch. Today, variations can be found across the Pacific, adapting to local tastes while maintaining the essence of the original.

canned corned beef

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Grilled chicken offers lean protein, while canned tuna is more affordable.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: avocado spread

💰Cheaper: yogurt

Avocado spread is healthier and adds creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese slices

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

1

Toast the bread in a toaster.

2

Cook ramen in a skillet on low heat with cheese and egg mixture.

3

Pour half of the egg mixture onto the noodles in the skillet.

4

Scrape the sides to prevent egg from seeping out.

5

Cook until the egg is done on one side, about a minute.

6

Flip the ramen to cook the other side after pouring the remaining egg mixture on top.

7

Butter one side of the toasted bread if desired.

8

Assemble the sandwich with one slice of bread, add the cooked ramen, and top with another slice of bread.
