Step 1

Soak the rice sticks in a bowl of cold water while you make the sauce

Step 2

Pour the water into a wide shallow saucepan and add the kombu.

Step 3

Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to about 500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups). Remove the kombu.

Step 4

Add the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), sugar and garlic to the kombu stock and stir well to combine. Mix through the kimchi and spring onion, then bring up to a simmer and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Throw the rice sticks into the sauce and stir well to coat, then reduce the heat to low. Add the sliced hot dogs and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often as the rice sticks tend to catch on the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Once the rice sticks are soft, cover the surface with grated cheese.

Step 7

More is more! Place a lid on the pan and cook for another minute.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and leave the dish to stand, covered, for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melty. Sprinkle with extra spring onion greens and serve.
