Method

  1. Trim the surimi sticks and cut them into thin strips.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the surimi strips with Kewpie mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, the sliced scallions, chopped kimchi, and a pinch of black pepper; stir until evenly coated.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: evenly coated surimi mixture. Stir the scallions and kimchi through the spicy mayonnaise mixture.

  3. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, or set the oven broiler to high (about 500°F / 500°F).

  4. Place the thick‑sliced bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven or under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, until the surface is golden and crisp; watch closely to avoid burning.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: golden crisp toast. Toast the bread until the surface is browned before adding the topping.

  5. Remove the toast and immediately spread a generous layer of the surimi mixture over each slice.

  6. Evenly sprinkle the cheddar cheese (and optional shredded mozzarella) on top of the surimi spread.

  7. Return the assembled toasts to the broiler for another 1–2 minutes, or until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns lightly golden.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: bubbly melted cheese. Broil until the cheese melts and lightly browns.

  8. Remove from heat and immediately garnish with a sprinkle of additional sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili crisp to taste.

  9. Allow the melts to rest for 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly, then serve while hot.
