Ingredients

Gochujang Aioli

To Serve

  • Hot dogs
  • Buns
  • Kimchi
  • Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onion

Instructions

  • Make the gochujang aioli. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the Kewpie mayonnaise, gochujang, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and fresh ginger until thoroughly combined. Pour into a sauce bottle and set aside.
  • Grill the hotdogs. Heat up the grill on medium-high heat, place the hotdogs on the grill and cook for about 7-10 minutes flipping halfway.
  • Toast the buns. Toast the buns in the oven or on the grill until slightly crispy.
  • Serve. Place the hotdogs in the buns, layer on the gochujang aioli, and top with kimchi, shredded mozzarella, sesame seeds, and green onion. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic and ginger. Gochujang is a bold Korean flavor and it will require the bold flavors from freshly minced garlic and ginger to balance it out.
  • Preheat your grill. This is an important step to clean off the grill using heat. Moreover, placing the hotdogs on a hot grill will provide those gorgeous grill marks we all love and deserve on your hot dogs.
  • Storage Instructions. You can store the individual ingredients separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To re-heat the hot dogs, you can either place them in the microwave or heat them up in the oven.
