Cravings: Banh mi hot dog

While tooling along on the internet, specially Pinterest, this Real Simple Recipe popped up in front of my faceballs (eyes) and I got incredibly excited.

Banh mi Hot Dog

Ingredients

4 hot dogs (I used Turkey Dogs)

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Sriracha 

1/2 teaspoon sugar

4 hot dog buns, split

1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 large carrot, shredded

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Directions

Cook the hot dogs according to the package directions.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and sugar.

Place a hot dog in each bun and, dividing evenly, top with the mayonnaise mixture, cucumber, carrot, and mint.

Turkey dog for the win!

So Yums! Much Carrot.

This turned out DELISH! The sauce was excellent and the mint with the carrot made it very Vietnamese.  While the Hot dog bun was nowhere near the greatness of the baguette that is Banh Mi, it was a great substitute for my craving of a Vietnamese sandwich.

Until the next craving....
