    Wondering how to use up those leftover hot dogs? This hot dog fried rice will become your new go-to dish. On the table in under 20 minutes, it's perfect for a weeknight family meal.

    This hot dog fried rice came about during lockdown when dinners became a case of throwing together whatever you had in the cupboard & fridge!

    The kids had eaten hot dogs in a bun the day before and I didn’t want to give them the same dinner again the next night (although I’m sure they would have loved it!).

    I chopped the hot dogs into small rounds and fried them off in a pan alongside some chopped veg, coconut aminos and egg (keep scrolling to variations for an egg-free option) and the result was big thumbs up all round!

    🥘 Ingredients Needed

    ✋ Be sure to double check all packaging for allergens. ✋

    Ingredients laid out for hot dog fried rice.
    • Hot Dogs: I’m not going to sit here and convince you that hot dogs are the healthiest food in the world, but a little of what you fancy does you good! I absolutely love these Dinos Big Dogs, they have the highest pork content I can find and a lot less “nasties” than lots of the other brands. They are a little more expensive, but I feel it's worth it as we only have them occasionally. 
    • Leftover Rice: You can either use leftover cooked rice or for extra ease, heat up a packet of microwave rice in the microwave before adding it to the pan. Jasmine,  long grain and basmati work really well. I've also used microwave rice in this really easy keema rice, its so handy for quick, midweek meals!
    • Veg: I have added carrots and frozen peas, as most people normally have these at home, but feel free to add whatever veg you have in the fridge or freezer. Spring onions (green onions) are chopped and sprinkled over the rice as a garnish.
    • Aromatics: Onion & garlic.
    • Coconut aminos / soy sauce: Used to add an authentic Chinese flavour to the fried rice. Use coconut aminos if you are gluten-free.
    • Egg: The egg is scrambled, then sliced and shredded & tossed through the fried rice mixture. See variations below for an egg-free option.
    • Oil: Sesame oil has been used in this recipe, but you can use vegetable oil or sesame oil if you have a sesame allergy.

    ✏️ How To Make Hot Dog Fried Rice

    ⬇️ Here you will find an overview of how to make the recipe. For full information on ingredients and quantities please see the recipe card at the bottom of the page ⬇️

    Hot dog slices, peas and carrots in a wok.

    To start preparing the fried rice, you will need to dice the hot dogs into rounds and finely dice the onion, garlic, and carrot.

    Once your ingredients are ready, heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced hot dogs, onion, garlic, carrots, and frozen peas, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

    After the hot dogs and vegetables have softened, push them over to one side of the pan and break the eggs into the other side. Whisk the eggs with a fork until they are combined, and cook until the eggs are set. Then, use a spatula to slice the eggs into thin strips or chunks before mixing them with the hot dogs and vegetables.

    Next, add the cooked rice to the pan and stir well to combine with the hot dogs and vegetables. Drizzle the coconut aminos or soy sauce over the rice and stir well to coat. The sauce will add a rich and savoury flavour to the dish, enhancing the taste of the hot dogs and vegetables.

    Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy. The crispy texture of the rice is the perfect contrast to the soft and tender hot dogs and vegetables.

    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious hot dog fried rice! This dish is a great way to use leftover rice and will surely become a family favourite.

    💡 Tips & Tricks

    • I have whisked the egg with a fork directly in the frying pan to keep this a one-pan meal, however, if you prefer, you can whisk the egg up in a separate bowl and pour it into the pan once combined.
    • If you are following a dairy-free diet, double-check the ingredients in the hot dogs as a lot of them tend to contain milk. (The Dinos big dogs don't - but always double check packaging)
    • If you don’t have any leftover cooked rice, simply heat up some microwave rice, prior to adding to the pan.

    ⚡ Variations

    • Make This Recipe Egg-Free: - You can either leave out the egg or another great option is to use tofu as I have in this fried rice recipe.
    • Make This Recipe Gluten-Free: Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and check the hot dog ingredients.
    • Make This Recipe Vegan: Use vegan hot dog sausages and tofu instead of egg.

    🤔 Can I Use Frozen Vegetables Instead Of Fresh Vegetables?

    Yes, you can use frozen vegetables instead of fresh vegetables. Peas can be added straight to the pan frozen, however, bigger vegetables like frozen carrots will need to be thawed first.

    🤔 Can I Re-Heat Hot Dog Fried Rice?

    As this dish uses leftover cooked rice that has already been heated, it is not advisable to reheat it again. I would recommend eating this dish immediately after serving.

    💬 FAQ

    Should I boil the hot dogs before frying them?

    You don’t need to boil the hot dogs before frying them, as they will cook in the pan whilst being fried.

    Can I use other types of sausages instead of hot dogs?

    Yes, you can use other types of sausages such as chicken, beef, or vegetarian sausages. You can also experiment with different flavours of sausages to find your favourite combination.

    How do I prevent my fried rice from sticking to the pan?

    Make sure to use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron pan. Also, use high heat and cook the rice quickly, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
