This mac & cheese hot dog won the first (unofficial) vegan hot dog challenge!

To celebrate national hot dog day on July 23 I created the first (unofficial) vegan hot dog challenge on my YouTube channel! It was a close fight to the finish, but this lazy, stoner-friendly concoction took home the win. I honestly think it was because my supposed wild ingredient challenge actually helped this recipe rather than hindered it!

The recipes for both dogs are below, but first watch how it all came together!

Yves Veggie Dogs were used in these recipes, but I really like Field Roast Sausages! And always grill or pan fry your dogs in a good slathering of BBQ sauce. If you’re looking for vegan hot dog buns, be sure to ask the bakery counter at your grocery store for the ingredient lists. Most house made buns are vegan. The ones used in the video do not contain egg despite their appearance!

hot dog with crispy onion strings and jalapeño corn relish

Ingredients

jalapeño corn relish

1/2 C frozen corn, thawed and drained1/2 C chopped pickles1/4 C chopped red pepper1 tbsp chopped pickled jalapeños1 tbsp pickle juiceground black pepper, to taste

crispy onion strings

1 large white onion1 1/2 C unsweetened nondairy milk (almond or soy work best)1 tbsp apple cider vinegar1 1/2 C all-purpose flour (can sub rice flour)1 tsp smoked paprika1/4 tsp cayenne1/2 tsp garlic powder1 tsp sea salt1/2 tsp ground black pepper3 C vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

To make the jalapeño corn relish, combine all the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.To make the crispy onion strings, thinly slice the onion. It works best to use a mandolin to get them even, but if you’re great with a knife then try it out! They should be thin enough that you can sort of see through them.Pour the nondairy milk into a shallow dish and whisk with apple cider vinegar. Soak the onions in this mixture for 15 minutes.In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour with smoked paprika, cayenne, sea salt, and ground black pepper.Heat your frying oil to 375°F in a heavy sauce pan. Using a pair of tongs, take a handful of onions from the liquid and coat evenly with the flour mixture, then submerge into the oil. You might need to use a fork to move them around in the oil a bit just to keep them from sticking to each other. They only take 2 minutes to fry up, then remove that batch with the tongs and lay out onto paper towel. Continue doing batches until all the onions are used up.
