Take your next cookout to a whole new level and enjoy all the flavors of a Vietnamese cuisine favorite translated for the American classic hot dog. Spicy mayo, tangy carrot slaw and fresh cucumbers spice up the dogs in a quick 35 minutes. These hot dogs feature a spicy mayo that really packs a punch. Use less sriracha if you want you dogs a little more tame. The cucumber and jalapeño add cool crunch, just like the original bahn mi. Tone down the spice even further with less or no jalapeño and a little more cucumber. Enjoy this grown-up hot dog with a side of grilled zucchini and yellow squash sprinkled with sesame seeds for a complete meal.
