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.

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.
