3. Prepare the toppings:

   • In a small bowl, mix gochujang, mayonnaise, and honey to create a spicy-sweet sauce.
   • Heat the chopped kimchi in a skillet for 2-3 minutes until warm.

4. Assemble the hot dogs:

   • Place a cooked sausage in each toasted bun.
   • Spoon the warmed kimchi over the sausage.
   • Drizzle the gochujang-mayo sauce on top.
   • Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and lightly broil for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese (optional).
