- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup kimchi, well-drained and chopped
- 2 tbsp scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 loaf (12-16 inch) baguette or rustic loaf
How to make Korean Kimchi & Gochujang Garlic Bread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well combined and the butter is evenly colored.
- Carefully slice the baguette or rustic loaf lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, so the two halves remain connected at the bottom. This creates a hinge for easy spreading.
- Generously spread the gochujang garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of both halves of the bread. Ensure the butter reaches the edges for maximum flavor and crispiness.
- Place the buttered bread halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is bubbling.
- Remove the bread from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup of well-drained and chopped kimchi over the buttered surfaces of the hot bread. The residual heat will warm the kimchi.
- Return the bread to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the kimchi to warm through and the bread to become extra crispy at the edges.
- Once baked, carefully transfer the garlic bread to a cutting board. Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp thinly sliced scallions before serving.
- Slice the bread into individual portions and serve immediately as a vibrant and spicy side dish.
