Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ginger — Use a spoon to peel the ginger skin easily. Grate the ginger using a fine grater for a smooth texture in the marinade.
- Chili sauce — Adjust the amount of chili sauce according to your spice preference. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smoky flavor, grill the hot dog sausages instead of pan-frying them.
- Customize the toppings by adding sliced cucumbers, pickled radishes, or shredded cabbage for extra crunch.
- Substitute the hot dog sausages with chicken or tofu sausages for a different twist.
- Serve with a side of Indonesian-style fried rice or crispy prawn crackers for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey to the chili sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the Indonesian Chinese Style Spicy Hot Dogs immediately after assembling to ensure the buns stay soft and the hot dogs remain hot. Accompany them with a side of crispy prawn crackers and a refreshing cucumber salad for a satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the hot dogs on a platter, garnished with a sprinkle of crispy fried onions and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. Serve them alongside a small bowl of the spicy chili sauce for dipping or drizzling.
