Carolina-Style Hot Dog with a Papua New Guinean Twist

Ingredients

In this Papuan adaptation, the traditional Carolina-Style Hot Dog is transformed by incorporating Papuan flavors and ingredients. The original dish typically features chili, mustard, onions, and coleslaw as toppings. However, in this version, we replace the coleslaw with a zesty Papuan relish made from fresh tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, and lime juice. This adds a unique and spicy twist to the hot dog, giving it a distinct Papuan flavor profile. We alse have the original recipe for Carolina-Style Hot Dog, so you can check it out.
