Hotdog Recipes

[expatguy]

I really have considered retiring in KL, opening a small boutique Italian cafe for the wealthy locals.. Still thinking about it.. Good Luck

There are a few guys over here who have made it BIG selling food.

One guy in Thailand opened the first Pizza Hut. A guy I know in Singapore was a oil rig diver and opened his own Italian place. A guy from Bosnia (believe it or not) opened an Italian place here in malaysia and made it big. I know another guy from England who opened a Spanish tapas place and made it big as well.

Copy Cat Velveeta

Are you recalling that I said we never were totally happy with the Velveeta subsititue.. This was as close as we could get, and it wasn't bad, just not the same consistancy as the real thingy.. Good Luck

• 1 1/2  cups very hot water
• 1/2  cup instant milk, plus
• 1  tablespoon instant milk
• 1/2  envelope unflavored gelatin (1 1/2 teaspoons)
• 1 1/2  lbs grated cheddar cheese.. I would suggest sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor.


Line a 8 x 4 x 2.5" loaf pan with plastic. In a blender, put 1/2 cup of the water, 3 tablespoons of the milk, 1/2 teaspoon of the gelatin.
Whip until gelatin is desolved.
Quickly add 1/2 lb. of the cheddar to the hot mixture.
Whip until blended. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Repeat this twice, until all ingredients are used. Cover the pan with more plastic wrap and chill overnight before unmolding.
Keep cold and slice as needed.

Thanks so much Carlo - Business is going good now with the hot dogs - I never managed to get Velveeta though and so I need to do my best to improvise and make due with the ingredients I can get.

Thanks so much!

I hope you come over one day and open your cafe.

I was going to say that....

NYC style - Mustard and Kraut. Mustard first, lots of sauerkraut on top.

[expatguy]

Interestingly enough, what is popular in the United States is not always popular here.

The New York dogs sell, but not like I expected they would.

My best sellers are :

"Texas Chili Dog" - Mustard + Texas Chili Con Carne + Cheese + Onions + Jalapeno slices

and what I call the "Dallas BBQ Hot Dog"

Grilled Onions + Beef Bacon + Cheese + Homemade Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce.

If you guys have any other suggestions to try I'd be grateful ~~ I'll try them out - see what the locals think and get some photos to boot!

Im gonna take the camera down to the shop tonite and get photos - hope to post them on my site later.

Thanks for all the help!

A Texas dog needs to be all beef topped with yellow mustard. Jalapenos are an option but not at all necessary. Chili w/o beans and sharp cheddar or Colby.

If you want a Hot Dog recipe I have one for you. My mom made it back in the old days and I loved it.

Fried potatoes sliced about 1/4 inch thick and fried till crunchy.

Cut hot dogs into 1/2 inch thick pieces (as many as you want) and fry with potatoes

Pour 1 can of cream of mushroom into the pan with the already fried potatoes and all beef hot dogs.

Pour 1 can of creamed corn into the pan.

Turn don heat and simmer until cream of mushroom and corn is hot (maybe 5 or so minutes)

add salt and serve.

NYC hotdogs ares NOT topped with onions, nor pale yellow mustard! It is topped with deli mustard and hot sauerkraut and only sometimes relish or onions are added.
