Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the White Kimchee

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped sweet garlic, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss well and let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Make the Miso Fennel Mixture

    In another bowl, mix the finely chopped baby fennel with white miso paste, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the slices of bread and toast until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread the miso fennel mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread. Top with shucked clams and a spoonful of the sweet garlic kimchee.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with additional black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
