Method
It is easy if you follow a few golden rules of the thumb :
- Sizzle sausages at medium heat to ensure it is thoroughly cooked. Then adjust the heat accordingly for golden or brown outer. Turn over and cook well especially for chicken and pork.
- Put in onions later or at the sides where the fire is lower because they tend to caramelise and burn easily.
- Assemble the hot dog sandwich, add vegetables and condiments, squeeze and spread sauces.
- Plate and it's ready to be served.
