total timeIngredients
5 medium scallions
3 cloves garlic
1 pound low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 4 cups shredded)
1 cup drained Napa cabbage kimchi
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon coarsely ground gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Chips, crackers, or crudités, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425ºF.
Step 2
Prepare the following, adding each to the same large bowl as it is completed: Thinly slice 5 medium scallions (about 1 cup); reserve 2 tablespoons of the dark green parts for garnish. Mince 3 garlic cloves. Grate 1 pound low-moisture mozzarella cheese on the large holes of a box grater (about 4 cups).
Step 3
Finely chop 1 cup drained Napa cabbage kimchi. Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the kimchi and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kimchi is lightly browned and most of the moisture is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the mozzarella.
Step 4
Add 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch broiler-safe baking dish or 10-inch cast iron skillet and spread into an even layer.
Step 5
Bake until lightly browned on top and bubbling around the edges, 17 to 19 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the top is dark golden-brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions and serve with chips, crackers, or crudités.
