For a limited time, we’re bringing you our Haute Dog series, which features tonight’s Korean American–inspired dressed-up classic. Beef hot dogs get a serious glow-up from spicy gochujang aioli, smoky mustard, melted cheddar, tangy kimchi, and scallions. Candied sesame peanuts add a sweet crunch that perfectly balances the fermented heat. It’s fusion comfort food that transforms your basic hot dog into a bold Seoul street food experience.

Cooking Steps
-
Adjust oven rack to middle position and set broiler to high. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and thinly slice scallions. Roughly chop kimchi. Crush peanuts in their bag.
-
Heat a small, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, sesame seeds, 2 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar (4 TBSP water and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and nuts are coated, 3-5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.
-
Cook hot dogs until warmed through. (TIP: We pan-seared ours with a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally. Alternatively, you can microwave or boil.)
-
Place buns on a baking sheet; fill with hot dogs. Top with gochujang aioli and smoky mustard and sprinkle with cheddar. Broil on middle rack until cheese melts, 30 seconds.
-
Divide hot dogs between plates. Top with kimchi, scallions, and candied peanuts and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The peanut sauce and gochujang aioli were standout hits, delivering bold, layered flavor 🌶️. Kimchi divided opinions — those unfamiliar with it found it an acquired taste, but fans loved the fermented kick.
- Ease of prep: Simple and quick to put together, with straightforward steps even for a first-time kimchi cook.
- Suggestions: One reviewer added cream cheese to the buns and topped with bacon bits for extra richness — a fun twist. If the toppings feel like too much at once, start with just the cheese and gochujang aioli, then add kimchi gradually to taste.
- Portions: Three hot dogs per serving felt like too much for several reviewers; two dogs with a small side dish would make for a more balanced meal.
