Servings: 1
Calories: 320kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Hebrew National 97% fat free Hot Dogs or favorite sausage
- 2 Hot Dog buns
- 2 Tbsp. Quick Pickled carrots and daikon pickling is optional* (30g)
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped (5-10g)
- 1 Jalapeno, diced (25g)
- 2 Radishes, sliced thin (25g)
- 1 mini persian cucumber, sliced thin (40g)
- 1 Tbsp. low fat mayo (15g)
- 1 tsp sriracha (6g)
Instructions
- Chop your veggies thin. I like my carrots and daikon julienned. (Or shredded carrots work!)
- Butterfly your hot dogs and fry in a hot pan till browned and crispy on the edges. Toast your buns in the same pan, or in the broiler.
- Mix the mayo and sriracha for your spicy mayo
- Put dogs in buns, top with all the veggies and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
Notes
* Veggies: If you want to quick pickle your carrots and daikon, just soak in some rice vinegar and warm water. I only left mine in for like 30 minutes… but you can leave a jar of these in your fridge for like a month so you can banh mi to your heart’s content! I wasn't precise about it. Or you can always just add them fresh. We already lost any points for ethnic authenticity at “hot dog.”
**Dogs: The macros here are for the Hebrew National 97% fat free. But since I made these, I've learned I love the ballpark lean at 5 fat per dog. A few more fat but lots more flavor.
Buns: I sliced off the outsides of it, sprayed the outside with cooking spray and pan-toasted it like a lobster roll…a.: that just made it yummier. b: it reduced the portion of the bun… I ended up having two buns for the same weight/carbs as one of another brand! But you do you.
