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…
