Sandwiches filled with sour, spicy, and crunchy kimchi with the salty and gooey vegan cheese. It’s also really important to note that these are estimates and you can adjust these measurements based to your liking!

Ingredients
  

Gochujang Mayo

  • 1.5-2 tbsp gochujang or korean chili paste
  • tbsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1.5 tsp sesame oil

Sandwich

  • 4 slices of your favourite bread I used multigrain toasts
  • 2-3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise or butter
  • 2 tbsp gochujang or korean chili paste optional but highly recommended!
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella and cheddar cheese shreds (I used Daiya's cheese)
  • 1 cup vegan kimchi (homemade recipe here)

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the gochujang mayo. Feel free to adjust to your taste.
  • Spread a generous amount of vegan mayonnaise or butter onto the outer sides of each piece of bread.
  • Heat a pan over medium to medium high heat. Once hot, place the sandwich, mayonnaise/butter side down.
    On the other side, spread some more mayo. Flip the bread over. Over the toasted side, spread the gochujang mayo. Add a generous amount of cheese and kimchi.
  • Flip one of the slices of bread to cover the sandwich. Place a heavy flat surface, like a plate, on top to press down the sandwich and leave it over medium to allow to toast until golden brown.
  • Once golden brown and crisp, flip to toast the other side of sandwich.
    Repeat this for the other sandwich. Enjoy!
