Ingredients
- Hot dogs
- 4
- Baguettes
- 2
- Carrots
- 1 cup, julienned
- Cucumber
- 1 cup, julienned
- White vinegar
- 1/2 cup
- Sugar
- 2 tablespoons
- Cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup
- Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the julienned carrots, cucumber, white vinegar, and sugar. Stir well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to pickle the vegetables, enhancing their flavor and crunch.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the hot dogs until they are nicely charred and heated through, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha together to create a creamy, spicy mayo that will complement the flavors of your Banh Mi Dog.
- While the hot dogs are grilling, slice the baguettes lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through, allowing them to form a pocket for the fillings.
- Spread a generous amount of the spicy mayo on the inside of each baguette for an extra zing.
- Once the hot dogs are ready, place one in each baguette.
- Top each hot dog with a generous helping of the pickled vegetables and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in this unique Banh Mi Dog!
Tips
- For a vegetarian option, substitute hot dogs with grilled tofu or tempeh.
- Feel free to add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick, or replace Sriracha with a hotter chili sauce if desired.
- Experiment with different types of pickled vegetables, such as radishes or daikon, for a twist on the traditional Banh Mi.
