Avocado-toast is one of the best ways ever invented to eat toast. But this kimchi avocado toast is on another level of deliciousness. This toast is an explosion of flavor every bite. (Important note: not all kimchi is vegan. Double-check and read the labels before buying.)
What is kimchi?
Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine, and it is so good for you because it is made with fermented vegetables. It also may have other vegetables like carrots, scallions, ginger, garlic, etc. Not all kimchi is vegan, so check your labels before buying it.
Why are going to love this recipe.
- Because this is not the traditional avocado toast, it is not even made the same way as everybody else’s makes it. But that is what makes the avocado toast different, every bite is a full experience on flavor and deliciousness.
- Kimchi and avocado are perfect flavor pairing. The creaminess of the acocado cuts a bit the spiciness and strong bit of the kimchi. And when avocado toast is made with a piece of gluten-free bread, like the one from Little Northern Bakehouse it becomes a complete nutritional amazingness.
- Is kimchi good for you ? Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine and it is so good for you because it is made with fermented vegetables. So it has all of the good stuff that benefits our gut.
- Is kimchi good for breakfast? I love kimchi because it makes a great meal, anytime of the day. Yes, that means breakfast, lunch and even dinner. I personally love to eat it as a quick and easy snack.
INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE BREAD WITH AVOCADO AND KIMCHI
- Kimchi, I buy kimchi, I do not prepare it at home. I always check that the kimchi jar I’m buyin is vegan. I chop it really small with a well sharpen knife, it usually comes in large pieces. You can chop it by hand with a knife and board or with a food processor (affiliate link).
- Scallions. I like to use the white and dark green part. Each one has a different flavor and texture that add to the dish.
- Toasted sesame oil, I recommend you have it at home, it is very good for many recipes.
- Large avocado cut in cubes
- Sesame seeds, black or white
- Mayonnaise and bread.
How to prepare the kimchi avocado mix?
- When you have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go, toast your bread. You can use a toaster or over a grill.
- Combine chopped kimchi, sesame oil, toss the scallions in, and the sesame seeds in a medium-small bowl, mix carefully with a fork.
- At last and being very careful not to over mix add the chopped avocado.
- Put a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of bread and finish with a tablespoon of the avocado and kimchi mixture. Finish with a pinch of kosher salt, drizzle chili oil, toasted seasame oil or sprinkle with black or white sesame seeds.
Tips, tricks & other recipes:
- I love, love kimchi, especially the spicy one. But if it is your first time eating kimchi start with a mild one. Usually, I will buy it, as it is quite complicated to make.
- Again, if it is your first time eating kimchi keep in mind that it is fermented food, it can be a little smelly when you open the jar. The smell will pass, no worries.
- What does kimchi taste good with? Kimchi goes great with rice, with stew, pretty much everything that could use an extra bit of kick.
- Kimchi usually comes in big chunks, I chop it to have a more even bite.
- For this Avocado kimchi toast, you can use any of Little Northern Bakehouse loaves: Millet&Chia, Seeds&Grains, Whole Grain Wide Slice, White Wide Slice, or 7 sprouted grains.
Give this recipe a twist
- Instead of vegan mayo you can use vegan cream cheese or mix cream cheese with the chopped kimchi and spread over large slices country bread for appetizers. It the mix is to thick add a little of kimchi juice to thin it out.
- Add some cilantro for a fun fresh twist or green onions.
- Add soy sauce if you like more of an umami flavor or minced garlic cloves if you want more of a bite in your avocado mix.

I agree with you! All fermented dishes are better if prepared by someone who knows about that procedure! Better ready made.
Ale I need this Kimchi bread in my life! Im trying to avoid gluten as much as I can and this seams to be a super good option. I have not seen the package in my groceries stores in Florida, though….
