Vietnamese Hot Dog
When we were in Edinburgh, Scotland this past March I had a Vietnamese Hot Dog at a little restaurant across from our hotel and it was excellent. Ever since then both Ken and myself wanted to make our own version of this hot dog. Today I bring you our Vietnamese Hot Dog.
I love the flavors of a Vietnamese sub and these are now added to a hot dog. Makes so much sense and it was delicious. Takes it up a notch from the usual hot dog fare. We just loved these and will be making them for sure.
Look at all those lovely fresh toppings, so much goodness in every bite!!
With some salty fries and big drink this meal was fun for summer. Something new and so easy too!
For kids you can leave out the spicy sauce and put ketchup on. Another great way to get a few veggies into them.
