Kimchi grilled cheese sandwich
Cheese it up! Crispy sesame-garlic country bread meets spicy kimchi and melted cheese in this grill-toasted sandwich that’s sure to win over any sandwich lover.
Preparation
Step 1

½ nori sheet – 100 g cream cheese – 1 tsp Kikkoman Spicy Chili Sauce for Kimchi
Finely chop the nori and mix with the cream cheese and Kikkoman Kimchi Chili Sauce.
Step 2

200 g large mushrooms – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil – 3 tbsp Kikkoman Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Soy Sauce - Lemon – Freshly ground pepper
Cut the mushrooms into slices approx. 2 mm thick and fry in 1 tbsp heated Kikkoman Sesame Oil for approx. 3 minutes. Add the Kikkoman Ponzu Lemon and continue to fry until it has evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed. Season with the pepper.
Step 3

1 garlic clove – 1 tbsp Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil – 1 tbsp sesame seeds – 4 large slices of dark country bread (as square as possible)
Peel and finely chop the garlic, then mix with 1 tbsp Kikkoman Sesame Oil and the sesame seeds. Coat one side of the bread slices with the mixture and roast in a large (grill) pan with the oiled side facing down, then remove from the pan.
Step 4

4 slices of cheese, e.g. medium-mature Gouda or Emmental – 100 g kimchi (from a jar)
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the untoasted side of the bread slices, then layer with the cheese, kimchi, mushrooms and another slice of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices.
Step 5

A few basil leaves
Toast the sandwiches on the grill, in a preheated oven using the grill function, or in a griddle pan until the cheese is lightly melted. Wash and pat dry the basil, then garnish the sandwiches and serve.
Tip:
For meat lovers, try adding thinly sliced grilled roast beef or strips of steak to the sandwich.
