Spicy Shishito Hotdog – a sweet and spicy twist on a classic dish. Your campfire cooking won’t be complete without a grilled hotdog and homemade teriyaki sauce.
I sorta miss my blog. I really do. Between working 10-12 hours daily and keeping the blog alive, I think I need to clone myself.
After I started working, I set myself a target: to cook/bake 3 recipes every weekend. But to tell you the truth, I am mentally unprepared for this as on weekends, I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. It’s as if my body knows I need to catch up with my sleep. Although I do miss taking food pictures, sharing food stories, and talking to you about my days. You know… that whole package.
But this… I’m excited to share this with you because it’s one of the hubs favorites and today’s theme is all about hot dog. As it turned out, July is National Hotdog month and hamburgers just seem to be a natural pairing with hotdogs! We’ve been meaning to have a BBQ and we’ve talked about it since Spring. But the reality was the opposite. Did not want to make the hubs upset, I decided to dust off my indoor grill and make this Spicy Shishito Hotdog for him.
I hope you’re more than just a ketchup and mustard-only kind of foodie when it comes to hotdog or burger. Because this hotdog gives you a different flavor. It comes with homemade teriyaki sauce, grilled to perfection, and topped with shishito peppers and other toppings such as imitation crab, nori seaweed, and your favorite savory toppings. I dare you to try this at least, and I am sure you won’t be able to stop at just one bite. It has a sweet and spicy taste that makes a perfect duet.
