#CookoutWeek is here again! I had such a great time participating in the event last year that I knew I wanted to join up this year.
As a kid, I used to eat plain hot dogs cold, a concept that as an adult makes me shudder. Ick. I'm still not a fan of them on a bun because I feel like the bread to meat ratio is never properly met and I do enjoy them served with less common toppings. Mustard will do if there isn't anything else, but I'll pass on the ketchup, relish and onions.
I like the more unusual toppings and when I saw a recipe using bahn mi ingredients on a hot dog, I immediately knew I needed to try it.
Standard bahn mi ingredients are pickled carrots, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro and sliced jalapenos. I prefer to pickle the jalapeno as well, which I did for this recipe.
