Banh Mi Hot Dog
The humble hot dog gets a flavor-packed makeover in this delicious Asian-inspired recipe. Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich that traditionally features pork, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs. This fusion recipe replaces the pork with a grilled hot dog, and the traditional baguette is swapped out for a steamed bun.
Mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce give it a nice little zing, while the fresh herbs add a touch of summertime flavor, fresh mint leaves will add a cooling effect to this hot dog. If you can’t find fresh mint, feel free to use cilantro or parsley instead. Topped with pickled carrots, radishes, and cucumbers, this Banh mi hot dog is a junk food like you’ve never had before, with all the flavors of your favorite Asian cuisine. So the next time you’re in the mood for something new and exciting, give the Banh Mi Dog a try.
