At a BBQ, are you reaching for a hot dog or a hamburger?

We liked these a lot, although we used half smokes, which were too big. Definitely something we'll have again, but with regular dogs.

Wow! Everyone loved it! My hot dog was plant based and worked out perfectly.

These are amazing! You don’t even need any other toppings/condiments. The butter mixture is so flavorful. My kids absolutely loved these and my 5 year old requested them for his birthday dinner. 😁

This is so delicious and fast to make. Great anytime

Also good is to use butter and celery salt when you grill the buns. Really!

Awesome just awesome. Longer walk tomorrow..lol

Just made this for the kids with the remaining food items we had left in the fridge, luckily we had all the ingredients lol, Kids loved it, of course and we did as well.

In a small pot, season the water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rinsed rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, and rice vinegar. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.

Transfer the cooked rice to a medium bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it, then stir well using a wooden spoon.

Heat the canola oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Sriracha until smooth.

To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned rice between 2 serving bowls. Top with the crab, crispy panko, cucumber, radish, nori, scallions, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and avocado. Drizzle the Sriracha mayonnaise over the top.

Here's what you need: brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame seeds, fresh ginger, garlic, boneless, skinless chicken breast, olive oil, green leaf lettuce, mango, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, green beans, avocado, scallion

Shredded Teriyaki Chicken Salad Recipe by Tasty

brown sugar

soy sauce

lemon juice

sesame seeds

ginger,

garlic, grated

½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

olive oil

green leaf lettuce, roughly chopped

mango,

red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

orange bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

green beans,

avocado, sliced

scallion, greens only,

Make the teriyaki sauce: In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar.

Butterfly the chicken breasts, then place in a high-walled baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, reserving ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Make the dressing: While whisking, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the reserved teriyaki sauce.

Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F (70˚C). Let cool for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) dressing over the chicken and toss to coat.

Prepare the salad: Add the lettuce to a large bowl. Top with the mango, bell peppers, green beans, avocado, and shredded chicken. Add the remaining dressing and toss well.

Divide between serving bowls and top with the scallions.

This fun spin on canned tuna is savory, sweet, and nutty. Sesame Tuna Salad is great on crackers, sliced cucumber, in lettuce wraps, or on salad greens.

Sesame Tuna Salad

soy sauce (0.04)

tsp toasted sesame oil (0.20)

tsp brown sugar (0.03)

tsp sesame seeds (0.02)

red bell pepper (0.50)

green onions (0.22)

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, and sesame seeds.

Drain the tuna well, then add it to a bowl. Dice the red bell pepper (I served the other half on the side with the tuna salad) and slice the green onions. Add the bell pepper and green onion to the bowl with the tuna.

Pour the prepared sesame dressing over the tuna and vegetables in the bowl. Carefully fold the ingredients together until everything is coated in dressing. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat.

With carrots, onions, and raisins, this dish has a wonderful mixture of sweet and savory flavors. Eat it on its own, put it in a sandwich, or add it to a wrap.

Curried Tofu Salad

super-firm vacuum-packed tofu (cut into 1/2 inch cubes*)

celery (chopped small)

carrot (grated)

Tablespoons yellow onion (chopped small)

Tablespoons raisins

pistachios

sweet curry powder

plain unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use cashew milk.)

agave syrup

cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Put tofu, celery, carrot, yellow onion, raisins, and pistachios in a medium sized bowl.

In a separate small bowl, combine vegan mayo, sweet curry powder, non-dairy milk, agave syrup, and cayenne.

Pour the mayo mixture into the bowl with the tofu and thoroughly combine, being careful not to break up the tofu too much. Add salt and pepper to taste.

The tofu salad can be eaten right away. However, for best results, cover and refrigerate it and allow flavors to meld for several hours or overnight. The flavors will continue to deepen. I like this tofu salad best after two days.
