Instructions
- Cook the hot dogs according to the package instructions, either by boiling, grilling, or pan-frying until heated through.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and Sriracha together in a small bowl. Adjust the Sriracha to taste for desired spiciness.
- Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through. Lightly toast them if desired for extra crunch.
- Spread a generous layer of the spicy mayo on the inside of each baguette.
- Place a hot dog in each baguette, ensuring it fits snugly.
- Top each Bahn Mi Dog with a handful of pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeno slices if you like it spicy.
- Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
Tips
- For a homemade pickled vegetable mix, combine equal parts water and vinegar with a little sugar and salt, then soak julienned carrots and daikon for at least 30 minutes.
- Feel free to add sliced avocado or a drizzle of soy sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Experiment with different types of sausages, like chicken or pork, for a unique twist.
