Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- Grill the hot dogs for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are heated through and have nice grill marks.
- While the hot dogs are grilling, prepare the wasabi mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and soy sauce until smooth. Adjust the amount of wasabi according to your preferred spice level.
- Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until they are lightly golden and crispy.
- Once the hot dogs are cooked, place each one into a toasted bun. Generously top with the wasabi mayo and finish with a sprinkle of the chopped green onions.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider grilling sliced jalapeños or bell peppers alongside the hot dogs.
- You can substitute turkey or plant-based hot dogs for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- If you prefer a milder version, mix in a little sour cream with the mayonnaise to tone down the heat of the wasabi.
