Ingredients- 1 small sweet potato (approx. 100-120g)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped ripe kimchi (approx. 50g)
- 1/4 small onion, finely chopped (approx. 25g)
- 50g mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 tbsp ketchup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one small sweet potato by peeling its skin thoroughly. Place it in a steamer or boiling water and cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender. While still warm, mash the cooked sweet potato smoothly with a fork or a masher until no lumps remain. If you have leftover roasted sweet potato, you can briefly microwave it to warm it up. Mashing while warm ensures a smoother texture.
Step 2
To the mashed sweet potato, add 1/2 cup of finely chopped ripe kimchi and 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion. Then, add 50g of mozzarella cheese. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until well combined. If your kimchi is very watery, lightly squeeze out the excess liquid before using.
Step 3
Get two slices of bread ready. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup evenly over the surface of one slice of bread. The ketchup adds a touch of balance to the overall flavor profile.
Step 4
Generously pile the prepared sweet potato, kimchi, and cheese mixture on top of the ketchup-spread bread slice. Try to keep the filling slightly contained towards the center to prevent it from spilling out.
Step 5
Cover the filling with the second slice of bread. Finally, drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup evenly over the top slice of bread. Then, place the assembled toast in a double-sided grill pan or a regular skillet with a little butter over medium-low heat. Grill for about 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
