    best homemade tofu dogs recipe | vegan hot dog recipe

    Mickey mouse certainly made hot dogs famous . traditional hot dogs are sausage based and over consumption can cause severe liver disease. Definitely if you are worried about climate change, you should reduce your meat intake as an occasional snack, if you cannot stop it. If your dietary preferences are not the same, have food allergy symptoms or have health conditions, you can still enjoy saying yeah dawgs! . You can get classic smoked plant-based frankfurters and frozen corn dogs from market but they are still processed. You can make easy vegan hotdogs at home too. No need to rush to grocery store to get your packets. Whether it is veggie dogs or carrot hot dogs both are amazing vegan recipes in their own league. However, there is another protein rich hot dog recipe you can make easily at home. Tofu hot dogs.

    I love using tofu whenever possible. It is a powerhouse of protein yet low in calories. Tofu pulao is an easy one pot meal and eggless mayo gets its perfect texture from soft tofu. You can make air fryer tofu nuggets like chicken nuggets. Sticky tofu is a perfect companion to fried rice if you do not have time to make tofu manchurian. Easy tofu curry comes to rescue when I want to have something similar to Indian curry , matar paneer. If you love your noodles, spicy tofu ramen is just what you need. Chipotle tofu bowl is an easy pick for buddha bowl lovers while satay tofu is just finger licking good for those who love their peanuts. Spicy tofu salad and tofu water cress salad are great recipes to stay in shape.

    Substitutions

    You can use gluten-free buns for a gluten-free vegan diet. You can also make carrot dogs in this fashion. Another great recipe is veggie hotdogs which is our take on Ikea hot dogs. I love Ikea for doing plant based dishes at a cheap price. Works great for huge families. You can also make vegan hot dogs using soy protein and pea protein based sausages.

    Variations

    • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes or hot green chilies while cooking to imbue heat into the dish.
    • You can also add other spices like onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper to tomato sauce and add it to the above sauce. Adding a teaspoon smoked paprika gives a good smoky flavor.
    • You can also make tofu nuggets in this manner. paneer is also a good option for vegetarian hot dogs. Vegan Italian sausage is also a good option if you want to eat it occasionally.
    • Other favorite toppings include sundried tomato paste, cashew cheese sauce, sauerkraut and vegan Swiss cheese.

    Storage

    Store chopped onions, cooked tofu separately in an air tight container. You can air fry buns for few minutes and reheat the tofu and serve with toppings of your choice.
