Main Ingredients- 2 frozen hot dogs
- 2 wedges of cabbage
Sauce- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Ketchup (to taste)
- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Ketchup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the cabbage wedges thoroughly and slice them into very thin shreds. (Note: The photo uses red cabbage, which resulted in thicker shreds. Regular green cabbage is recommended for a finer texture, though red cabbage is also very healthy!)
Step 2
Place the shredded cabbage in a sieve and drain all excess water. Lingering moisture can dilute the salad dressing.
Step 3
Gently heat the frozen hot dogs in the microwave for about 1 minute. This initial heating helps to slightly thaw the inside, ensuring a more even cook in the air fryer.
Step 4
Place the partially thawed hot dogs into the air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 6 minutes. This will crisp up the outside while keeping the inside moist.
Step 5
Once cooked, carefully remove the wooden skewer from the hot dog. Slice the hot dog lengthwise, stopping just before cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling without fully separating the halves.
Step 6
Generously fill the pocket in the hot dog bun with the prepared cabbage salad. Feel free to add extra ingredients like cheese or thinly sliced cucumber for added flavor and texture. Cucumber is especially recommended for a refreshing crunch!
Step 7
Finish by drizzling mayonnaise and ketchup over the salad filling to your liking. Adjust the amount of sauce to create your perfect flavor balance.
Step 8
This is a fantastic, fuss-free dish perfect for a weekend treat when you don’t feel like elaborate cooking. How about this creative take on a hot dog salad bun? Trust my recipe and give it a go!
