Try this recipe for a Gamtae Sandwich courtesy of Sollip, the award-winning Michelin starred Korean/French restaurant in London.

Sollip, the debut restaurant from husband-and-wife team Woongchul Park and Bomee Ki, introduces Korean-influenced cooking interspersed with European techniques, an unparalleled dining experience which earned it a Michelin star in 2022.

Offering a single tasting menu coloured by the ingredients that have shaped Woongchul and Bomee’s upbringing in South Korea and from their time spent in London, every element of Sollip is uniquely personal to both of them. The menu itself is a collaboration between Woongchul (formerly at The Ledbury and Koffman’s) and Bomee, a classically trained pastry chef (formerly at The Arts Club), and a balance of heritage, love and technical exactness. 
 
Whilst accents of Korean come through in every dish, classical European and namely French influence are depicted in equal measure, a culinary style both Woongchul and Bomee grew to love and master through their Cordon Bleu Culinary School training in London – also the place the couple met. The marriage of influences amalgamates in a style entirely unique to Sollip. Alongside pastry, fermentation also plays an integral part in the work of the kitchen team, who ferment kimchi in-house based on an old family recipe – an ingredient that evokes nostalgia and memories of home for Woongchul and Bomee like no other.

 

Woongchul on the recipe:

“Our snacks come in an ordered way to create a flow of flavours, first is always a fresh, clean and light bite with fruit or vegetable as the basis, next comes the spicy, decadent beef tartare with layered umami and wildness from the beef, lastly is the sandwich wrapping together the row with a deeper umami, and a textural change to start off the main course.

Gamtae is an ingredient close to my heart coming from the west sea of South Korea bringing its salty, slightly sharp coastal notes, with an after tone comparing to an earthy black truffle, this pairs excellently with the Duckett’s creamy richness and stems on my love of British Cheese.”

Ingredients:

  • Brioche sliced thin (or a square white loaf).
  • Gamtae seaweed, replaceable with kim/gim (more typical seaweed): 10 sheets
  • Cultured Butter
  • Duckett’s Caerphilly (any strong mature cheddar will do): 100g

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Method:

  • Bring butter to room temperature.
  • Cut 7 of the Gamtae sheets to match the shape of your bread, save and chop the trimmings finely or use a blender/food processor if available. The remainder cut to the same width and double the length of your bread.
  • Fold the trimmed seaweed through the butter till all clumps are gone and there is a  uniform light green colour.
  • Using a strong knife, slice through the cheese to match the bread, trimming off the rind and any excess to match the shape of the bread and Gamtae.
  • Spread a thin layer of Gamtae Butter onto one side of both slices and lay the Gamtae sheets on both, top with one slice of cheese and assemble.
  • Brown both sides in a medium-high pan with oil and pop in a preheated oven on 180 C fan. Pull when the edges are gooey and wrap with the remaining Gamtae.
