Ingredients- 2 frozen hot dogs (cheese and sausage combo recommended)
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 handful cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 handful carrot (thinly sliced)
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mustard sauce, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare two frozen hot dogs. Using a combo of cheese and sausage will be a hit with both kids and adults. You can heat the hot dogs in a microwave or an air fryer. Today, we’ll use the air fryer for a crispier texture. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes. The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them and adjust as needed.
Step 2
While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare your fresh vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely. You can thinly slice or shred the carrots and cucumbers according to your preference. I chose to slice them a bit thicker for a satisfying crunch.
Step 3
Once the hot dogs are nicely browned, remove the wooden stick first.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to slice the hot dog in half. Since you’ll be filling it with ingredients, only cut about two-thirds of the way through, ensuring it doesn’t split completely. Slice carefully.
Step 5
Generously stuff the prepared shredded cabbage, cucumber, and carrot into the slit of the hot dog. Don’t be shy with the vegetables – pack them in!
Step 6
With the fresh vegetables piled high, all that’s left is to add the sauces to complete your creation.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle ketchup to your liking. I also added a bit of mustard sauce for an extra layer of flavor. The combination of the crispy exterior of the hot dog with the fresh, crisp vegetables creates an amazing taste. I was surprised at how wonderfully frozen hot dogs can be transformed! It’s a perfect brunch dish for the weekend, and a great way to use up those frozen hot dogs. This salad bread requires no complicated cooking steps, making it an easy and delicious treat for everyone to enjoy!
