Ingredients Needed:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 8 kosher hot dogs, boiled (recommended: Best’s)
- 8 hot dog buns
- Spicy brown mustard, as needed (recommended: Gulden’s)
- Onion Sauce
- Cooked sauerkraut, as needed
How To Make New York Street Cart Dog?
- Make the onion sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, and chili powder, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Simmer the sauce: Add the ketchup, water, hot sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.
- Boil the hot dogs: While the sauce cools, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the kosher hot dogs and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
- Assemble the hot dogs: Place each hot dog in a bun. Spread spicy brown mustard on the bottom half of the bun. Top with onion sauce, sauerkraut, or both, depending on your preference.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately for an authentic New York street cart experience!
Recipe Tips:
- Slice the onions evenly: Make sure all onion slices are the same thickness so they cook evenly and become tender without burning.
- Simmer the sauce properly: Cook until it thickens to get the right consistency and enhance the flavors. Don’t rush this step.
- Use high-quality hot dogs and buns: The quality of the hot dogs and buns makes a big difference in the overall taste.
- Toast the buns lightly: Toasting the buns adds extra flavor and keeps them from becoming soggy when adding the sauce.
- Cool the onion sauce before serving: Let the sauce cool to room temperature for the best texture and flavor when adding it to the hot dogs.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cool the hot dogs and onion sauce to room temperature. Keep them in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze the onion sauce in a container for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Warm the onion sauce on low heat, stirring gently.
