Banh Mi Hot Dogs
I love banh mi sandwiches. These delicious sandwiches usually consist of crusty sub rolls smeared with duck liver pate, mayonnaise, pickled carrots and daikon radish, fresh herbs like cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and pork or ham. While banh mi is usually made with pork products, this is a poultry version in hot dog form! That’s right, I used chicken hot dogs in this tasty Banh Mi Hot Dogs recipe.
For the hot dogs, I used Bell & Evans uncured chicken franks. They’re tasty and a great choice for people who don’t eat pork/beef. The duck liver pate can be omitted but it really adds an authentic touch to the hot dogs. These dogs get a refreshing crunch thanks to the quick-pickled daikon, carrots, and cucumber. Fresh herbs are a must, and the jalapeño peppers and Sriracha mayo add a nice dash of spice to this dish.
