Notes
- Try poking a few holes in the wieners before grilling so that steam is let out while they're cooking, helping to avoid a burst weenie.
- Since these Asian flavors are regularly paired with spicy pork or beef, both beef and pork wieners, or a mix of the two, will match well with these Korean ingredients. For vegetarians, the most popular choices are tofu, lentil, or veggie dogs. Just make sure the kimchi you buy is vegetarian as well.
- For something a little different than your standard hot dog bun, I recommend a brioche hot dog bun. If you cannot find this roll, a regular hot dog bun or hoagie roll will also work.
- Cooked wieners can be kept warm on the indirect heat side of the grill until ready for serving.
- One tip for avoiding a watery slaw is to drain the kimchi really well before adding it to the mixture. Also, you can put the shredded carrots in a clean paper towel and gently squeeze the moisture out before using.
- Any leftover, creamy kimchi topping can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Leftover wieners should also be refrigerated and will be good for up to 3 to 4 days.
