Think outside the bun
No, you’re eyes haven’t failed you. That there is hot dog fried rice. My kids had a hankering for hot dog fried rice today so I happily obliged. All you need is 2 -1/2 cups cooked rice, 2 hot dogs, 1/2 tbs. butter and garlic salt.
- Chop 2 hot dogs in small pieces and place in frying pan
- Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Not too much
- Boil until all the water evaporates.
- Add butter and brown the hot dogs a bit. Lower heat
- Add cooked rice ( I like to use left over rice) and mix with hot dogs
- Move the rice and hot dog mix to one side of the pan to create space for the egg
- Crack 1 egg onto the cleared side of the pan as if you were going to cook them sunny side up. Let cook until the whites are almost cooked.
- Once the whites are slightly cooked, mix the white and yolk together (still on the cleared side) until the egg solidifies and is cooked
- Mix the eggs into the rice and add garlic salt (to taste) and cook for another couple of minutes
who knew hot dog fried rice could look so divine…

Wow, that really does look delicious!
Hey! Thank you for this hot dog idea. I’m running out of ideas for lunch. Because I’m home more often now, I’m cooking more too. And it has been a challenge!
Hi Jing. My mom used to make this for us but she added more veggies.
