HOT DOGS WITH PICKLED CARROT
AND SPICY MAYO
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
2 tsp black sesame seeds (or a mixture of
white and black)
3 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Japanese Rice
Vinegar
1 tsp clear honey
1⁄2 tsp toasted sesame oil
300g carrots, scrubbed and julienned,
shredded or grated
4 Unearthed Bavarian Frankfurters
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Gochujang
Chilli Paste
4 hot dog rolls
METHOD
Put the sesame seeds in a dry frying
pan and toast over a medium-high
heat, stirring from time to time, until
fragrant; tip out of the pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, honey,
sesame oil and a large pinch of salt in
a bowl and add the carrot; cover and
chill in the fridge, allowing the mixture to
quick-pickle until ready to serve.
Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high
heat and cook the frankfurters for 7-8
minutes, turning regularly, until piping
hot throughout. While they’re cooking,
mix the mayonnaise and gochujang chilli
paste in a small bowl; set aside.
Split open the rolls and spread a little of
the spicy mayo inside each one. Lift the
carrot from its pickling liquor and arrange
in the rolls, then top with the frankfurters.
Drizzle over the remaining spicy mayo
and sprinkle over the sesame seeds to
finish. Serve any leftover carrot on the
side.

COOK’S TIP
Gochujang (Korean chilli
paste) makes a wonderful
rub for meats, and is
delicious in vegetable
stews or bakes. It’s very
spicy though, so use
sparingly.
