xpIf you need more reasons to eat a wiener, this is it. Hot dog fried rice is real, easy to make and most importantly clean up. Like an after school treat (but with a cold beer), it’s what every grown-up needs.
Fried rice generally doesn’t have too many vegetables. Serve this rice with “fish” fragrant eggplant, restaurant style bok choy, or an easy 3-ingredient corn soup.
Do you have these 5 ingredients?
- Rice
- Eggs
- Hot dog wieners
- Frozen peas
- Cooking oil
This just might work if so.
If not, they should be fairly easy to find, so I expect full participation from even the most reluctant cook. (If I can get off my fat *ss to make this, so can you.)
Hot dog fried rice allows you to eat a hot dog but feels a little more advanced than eating an actual hot dog.
And it’s just fun, isn’t it?
How to make easy, 5-ingredient Hot Dog Fried Rice
Step 1: Cook Eggs
Heat oil into pan over medium heat.
Crack 2 eggs in the pan and stir until just cooked.
Remove into a separate bowl or plate, such as the one you will eventually eat off of.
I don’t whisk the eggs in a separate bowl beforehand (much like the recipe for tomato eggs) because it’s one less bowl to wash.
If you prefer ultimate yellow uniformity, then whisk away prior to cooking the eggs.
Step 2: Cook hot everything else
Put the pan back onto medium heat with more oil. There may be some egg residue, and that is ok.
Fry the hot dogs.
Add the cold rice and salt.
Fry until rice is heated through while stirring. This will take 3-5 minutes.
Add the frozen peas. Keep stirring until all ingredients are warmed through.
Step 3: Add back eggs
Add eggs back into the pan. Stir until combined over medium heat.
Step 4: Serve hot
Serve in the pan or onto plates. Garnish with fresh squeezed ketchup and soy sauce if you like.
Step 5: Enjoy life
Marvel at how little there is to clean up. Return to busy adult activities.
That’s what the pan looks like after it’s been used. Just some residual oil. Very easy to clean.
This recipe is 5 ingredients, not including salt and garnishes.
You could also serve with a salad or steamed broccoli, but don’t forget the cold beer.
Tips for Hot Dog Fried Rice Glory:
- Use a non-stick frying pan or well seasoned cast iron pan or wok to make your cleanup a lot easier. I use this one recommended by America’s Test Kitchen.
- 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 harder to get each grain separated individually.
- Instead of whisking eggs in a separate bowl before cooking, you can do it in the pan itself. Saves 1 dish to clean.
- Consider using grassfed beef hot dogs or at all beef, hormone/antibiotic free hot dogs.
