Japanese Hot Dogs (Japadog Inspired)

Give your typical hot dog a Japanese twist with these Japadog inspired teriyaki mayonnaise hot dogs.
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 6 hot dogs
  • 6 hot dog buns
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • Japanese mayonnaise
  • shredded nori (seaweed)
  • bonito flakes

For Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Japanese soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet or saucepan, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to burn off the alcohol.
  • In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water into a slurry.
  • Add slurry to the skillet and stir well. Continue cooking 2-3 more minutes or until the teriyaki sauce has reached your desired thickness to glaze your hot dogs. Set sauce aside and let cool while you prepare your hot dogs.
  • Grill your hot dogs, brushing on some teriyaki sauce in the last minute of cooking. Toast hot dog buns, if desired.
  • Assemble your Japadogs by placing your hot dog in a bun and topping with more teriyaki sauce. Add Japanese mayonnaise on top (I like to do a zig zag pattern), shredded seaweed, bonito flakes, and green onion to taste. Serve and enjoy!
