I love to make these Hot Dogs with Spicy Kimchi Slaw for game night. They are super simple to make and I love the slight crunch from the daikon radish in the slaw. If you can’t find daikon in the grocery store, substitute for red radishes. The key ingredient in this recipe is the spicy gochujang sauce made with mayo, lime and gochujang chili.
To make these tasty hot dogs, start by making the kimchi slaw up to one day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator. It will start to break down if you make it much earlier than that. Make spicy gochujang sauce by whisking mayo with gochujang chili paste and lime juice. I like my chili-mayo quite spicy, so I start with three tablespoons of chili paste. I taste the sauce and add more if I want it spicier. Grill the hot dogs and crisp the buns slightly.
To make the Hot Dogs with Spicy Kimchi Slaw, you will need the following ingredients:
Stir together the 1 cup of minced kimchi with the grated carrot, radish, scallions, cilantro, and salt. Let the slaw mixture rest for at least 10 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ a cup of mayonnaise with 3 - 4 tbsp gochujang Korean chili paste and the juice of ½ a lime.
Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat (about 350 °F). Grill 8 all-beef hot dogs over the heat for 4 - 5 minutes, turning once until the sausages have grill marks.
Place the hot dog buns over the heat for approx 30 seconds to crisp slightly.
Serve the grilled hot dogs immediately in the hot dog buns, topped with kimchi slaw and drizzled with chili mayo.
