Flavorful Hot Dog Sauce Ingredients- 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the creamy corn salad, the heart of our hot dog! Drain the canned corn kernels thoroughly and place them in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of oligodang (a type of Korean syrup, honey works too), and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix everything together until well combined, being careful not to mash the corn kernels. This will ensure a delightful texture.
Step 2
Next, we’ll prepare the ingredients that add a special kick to the corn salad. Finely mince 3 fresh jalapeños and half an onion. If you prefer less spice, you can remove the seeds from the jalapeños before mincing. Finely dicing the onion will also help mellow its sharpness.
Step 3
Now it’s time to cook the star of our hot dog – the sausage! Lightly grease a pan or cook it dry. Place the sausage in the pan and cook over medium-low heat, turning it occasionally until it’s golden brown on all sides. The goal is a slightly crispy exterior with a juicy interior.
Step 4
Let’s whip up a fantastic sauce that will elevate our hot dog! In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Whisk them together until smooth. This tangy and creamy sauce is the perfect complement to the hot dog.
Step 5
Generously spread the delicious sauce you just made inside the prepared hot dog bun. This step is crucial for infusing the bun with flavor, so don’t be shy! Spreading it along the sides as well will enhance the taste even further.
Step 6
Time to prepare the melty cheese that makes this hot dog irresistible! Place 30g of mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for about 30 seconds until it’s warm and gooey. Be careful not to overcook it, as the cheese can become tough if heated for too long.
Step 7
Finally, it’s time to assemble our masterpiece! On the sauce-coated bun, place the warm, melted mozzarella cheese. Then, add the beautifully cooked sausage on top. Generously spoon the creamy corn salad over the sausage. Finish by sprinkling the finely minced onion and jalapeño over the salad. A final dusting of dried parsley flakes adds a lovely touch. Behold your spectacular Corn Cheese Hot Dog, ready to be enjoyed!
