Easy, One Pan Hot Dog Fried Rie

If you love hot dogs and rice, you'll appreciate this one pan meal for hot dog fried rice. You don't need a wok or any fancy ingredients to make this quick meal or after school snack. Ready in 20 minutes or less, and it also works like a dream with vegan hot dogs too.

Eat this after school, work, or the gym. It even works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any night of the week.

It's quick, easy to clean up, and has a nostalgic quality akin to lunchables and Capri-sun.

The cooking technique is similar to corned beef fried rice, where the eggs are scrambled first. However, this can be made without eggs too such as this wild rice fried rice and kimchi fried rice.

Ingredients

This recipe only has 6 ingredients, most of which you may already have in your fridge/freezer.

labeled ingredients for hot dog fried rice
Pictured is short grain, brown rice, Teton Waters 100% grass fed hot dogs, and pink Himalayan salt which measures equivalently to iodized, table salt.
  • Cooked, Cold Rice - Cold rice (that's been cooled and refrigerated for at least a couple hours) won't absorb so much liquid. I use brown rice for extra fiber and nutrition over white rice.
  • Hot Dog Weiners - Use the nicest kind you can find or even vegetarian hot dogs, like Field Roast brand.
  • Eggs - If you are avoiding eggs, I've tested the Just Eggs vegan liquid egg product, and it really does make an apt substitute for regular eggs.
  • Frozen Peas - Even if you feel ambivalent about these mushy pods that can quickly turn swamp green, having them in your freezer is like finding a Cliff bar at the bottom of your backpack on a long hike. Didn't think you needed it or wanted it but so glad to have it when the time is right.
  • Cooking Oil of your choice - I like avocado or coconut oil.
  • Salt (to taste) - or soy sauce. Soy sauce gives the rice a brownish tinge. I use salt to season the rice instead of soy sauce because that is how I've learned traditional fried rice in China is seasoned. Alternately, Chinese American restaurants (like Panda Express) will add soy sauce to fried rice.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

This is the basic fried rice technique where you scramble eggs first, remove, and then add them back to the pan after the protein, vegetables, and rice have been fried.

oil in a cast iron skillet on a gas range

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. (I use a seasoned cast iron pan.) Spread the oil over the pan. It should shimmer a bit, but not smoke.

Add in the whisked eggs. Stir for 1-2 minutes until there is not raw egg liquid left in the pan.

Remove the cooked eggs onto a separate plate.

Using the same pan, add a touch more oil. (It's ok if there is some residual scrambled egg in the pan.)

Brown the sliced hot dogs over medium to medium high heat.

Add the cold rice to the pan. (I used short grain brown rice). Cold rice won't get so mushy and will separate into individual rice grains more easily.

Once the rice is hot and fried (this will take about 3-5 minutes), whirl in the frozen peas.

Once the frozen peas aren't so frozen anymore, stir in the scrambled egg, breaking it up to distribute through the rice. This is also the time to season the rice with salt.

Serve hot with ketchup or hot sauce. I like using the cast iron skillet to serve directly from the pan. This thick walled pan helps keep it hot.

Equipment

I used a 10 inch cast iron Lodge brand skillet. It came pre-seasoned, so I didn't have to treat the surface before using.

Alternately, use a non-stick skillet of your choice or well seasoned wok.

Storage

This is best consumed within 3 days for best flavor, or freeze for up to a month.

Helpful Tips

  • Use a non-stick frying pan or well seasoned cast iron pan or wok to make your cleanup a lot easier.  I've also used this one from T-fal.
  • Leftover, cold cooked rice from the fridge generally works better for fried rice.  In a pinch, you can use hot rice, but it will clump up and can get mushy.
  • Instead of whisking eggs in a separate bowl before cooking, you could do also crack in the eggs into the pan. Whisk the eggs with a spatula in the pan itself as it cooks.  This makes one less dish to clean.
  • Make it vegetarian by using vegan hot dogs. I like the Field Roast brand.
  • Hold the salt if the salty hot dogs are enough seasoning for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tb cooking oil, divided into 1 Tb each such as coconut, avocado, or peanut oil
  • 2 ea large eggs whisked; small or medium sized eggs will work too
  • 2 ea hot dog wieners sliced about ¼ - ½" thick
  • 2 c cold, cooked rice leftover rice from the fridge works best
  • ½ c frozen peas
  • salt to taste for me this is ⅛ teaspoon pink salt or table salt

Optional garnish

  • ketchup
  • hot sauce
  • soy sauce

Instructions

  • Heat 1 Tb of oil in non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs, and stir until just cooked. Remove eggs from pan onto a separate plate, scraping out as much egg residue as possible. 
  • Using the same pan, add remaining 1 Tb of oil and sliced hot dogs. Fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until browned on both sides.
  • Add rice to the pan. Stir gently over medium heat until the rice is heated through. This will take about 3-5 minutes. 
  • Add frozen peas. Continue stirring over medium to medium high heat until the peas are heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked eggs back to the pan along with salt, if using. Stir to combine and serve hot with ketchup, soy sauce, and/or hot sauce.

Notes

The ratio for this recipe is 1 cup of rice, 1 hot dog, 1 egg, and ¼ c frozen peas. You can adjust the quantity if you'd like to make more or less than 2 servings. 
  1. Use a non-stick frying pan or well seasoned cast iron pan or wok to make your cleanup a lot easier.  I've also used this one from T-fal.
  2. Leftover, cold cooked rice from the fridge generally works better for fried rice.  In a pinch, you can use hot rice, but it will clump up and can get mushy.

  5. Hold the salt if the salty hot dogs are enough seasoning for you.
 
The nutritional values are based on the use of avocado oil and brown rice in the recipe.

Using the seasoned cast iron pan, the clean up wasn't too bad. The rice did stick a little bit on the hot edge, but for the most part the rice scraped easily from the pan.
