Carrot hot dog

Hi everyone today I'll show you how to make a carrot hot dog, yeah it is a recipe a little bit weird hahaha, I saw this on social media it is a vegan version of the hot dogs and I liked the idea and I tried it and it turned out really good so I made it my way with my spices and sauces to give it an extra flavour. Lets go to the recipe!

Ingredients

• 4 Carrots
• 4 Hot dog buns
• 1 Cup of water
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp maggi sauce
• A pinch of chili powder
• 1/4 Tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 Tsp paprika
• 1 Tsp miso paste
• 1 Tbsp sugar

Process

• We are going to chop the ends and then peel the carrots.
• To give them a more sausage-like appearance we are going to round the ends of the carrots, this is easier with a peeler but you can do this with a knife.
• Once you are happy with the shape of all your carrot sausages, then it’s time to cook them.
• Obviously carrots don’t have sausage flavours, besides the meaty flavour sausages also have spices so we are going to add different spices and flavours to the water where we are going to cook and marinate the carrots.
• First lets cover the sausages with water I used a little bit more than a cup. Then add the soy sauce, the maggi sauce, the cumin powder, the paprika, a pinch of chili powder, the miso paste, the sugar and some garlic.
• Cook the carrots until they are firm but soft when you poke them with a knife. Let them rest until they are cool if you want you can even keep them in the refrigerator until you want to eat them.
• To eat them add vegetable oil to a pan and fry them, be careful because since they are wet with the marinade the oil will go crazy as you can see here, I suggest you to first put them in the pan without any oil, wait until they get a little dry and then add the oil. Of course you can make them without frying them but I thought they would be closer to the real thing if they were.
• Since we added sugar to the marinade you can also add more on top of the carrots to get a better caramelized surface.
• Once the carrots are ready we are going to put them in the bun, and now we can add our favourite toppings.
