Cooking Features
Classic hot dog is an oblong bun, cut along and stuffed with sausage, generously poured with ketchup. It seems that even a child can make such a “sandwich”, but in fact it is not. A really tasty and even useful hot dog will be only if you exactly follow the technology of its preparation and take into account several important points.
- The main ingredient of a hot dog is sausage, and a lot depends on its quality. You should not take cheap sausages, preference should be given to those made according to GOST, which include meat and few additional additives. Smoked sausages will be the most delicious, but the usual healthier.
- Before putting a sausage in a bun, you need to cook it. The worst way of cooking is boiling in water, the best is grilling, the easiest is heating in a microwave. You can fry in a grill pan without adding oil or use a special toaster.
- Hot dog roll is a necessary lush, with a slightly sweet neutral taste, not interrupting the taste of the “filling”. To do this, you can use special buns for hot dogs, including mustard seeds, sprinkled with sesame, or French baguette, cut in half. Proponents of a healthy diet can make a hot dog out of bran buns. The best, but troublesome option, is to make a bun on your own from yeast dough.
- Before putting a sausage in a bun, it should be lightly dried in a frying pan, and then made a deep cut, but not on the side, as many believe, but on top.
- All vegetables and greens that are put on a hot dog should be dry. Juicy vegetables, such as tomatoes, it is better to put just before eating. Otherwise, the bun will soften, and the hot dog will be tasteless. For the same reason, the sauce is poured only on the sausage, trying not to fall on the bun.
A large amount of greenery, fresh vegetables will help to make a hot dog useful - you should not pity them by making a hot dog at home. Then the hot dog will be equivalent to a dinner of sausage and vegetable salad with a large piece of bread.
