Instructions

Pickled Carrot and Daikon

Prepare the carrot and daikon. Peel and shred the carrots and daikon.
Mix the pickling juice. In a mixing bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, distilled white vinegar, and lukewarm water. Mix until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Pickle the carrot and daikon. In a pickling jar, add the shredded carrots and daikon until 3/4 full. Pour in the vinegar mix until the carrots and daikon are completely covered in the liquid.
Cover the jars and pickle in the refrigerator overnight. The pickles can last up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

Sriracha Mayo

In a mixing bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt until combined.

Hot dogs and buns

Grill the hotdogs. Heat up the grill on medium-high heat, place the hot dogs on the grill and cook until golden brown, around 5-7 minutes flipping halfway.
Toast the buns. Toast the buns in the oven or on the grill until slightly crispy.
Serve. Place the hotdogs in the buns, layer on the sriracha mayo, soy sauce and add the pickled carrot and daikon, sliced cucumber, and sliced jalapeños and enjoy!

Notes

Make the pickled carrots and daikon in advance. The pickled carrots and daikon taste best if you pickle them overnight. However, if you are in a pinch you can always pickle them for at least 1-2 hours in advance.

Preheat your grill. This is an important step to clean off the grill using heat. Moreover, placing the hotdogs on a hot grill will provide those gorgeous grill marks we all love and deserve on your hot dogs.
Adjust the sriracha mayo to your taste. Some people prefer a spicier kick to their hot dogs, whereas some people prefer a milder taste. You can adjust the levels of sriracha based on your flavor profile.
Storage Instructions. You can store the individual ingredients separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To re-heat the hot dogs, you can either place them in the microwave or heat them up in the oven. The pickled carrot and daikon will last in a pickling jar for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
