    Our recent trip to Ikea on Saturday, didn't disappoint us. Not only did we buy good furniture, but we also got a great idea for dinner. Ikea veggie dog was something we enjoyed thoroughly along with its plant based meat balls. Kudos to Ikea for putting up vegan and plant based recipes. Classic hot dog has meat in it, so how do I explain this to a kid who adores Mickey Mouse. We recreate regular hot dogs as veggie hot dogs which are homemade vegan too. We were really inspired to recreate this Ikea veggie dog recipe, at home as going there is not possible all the time. Here is our take on ikea vegan hot dog we ate.

    This meatless hot dogs recipe is pretty simple to make. You can steam whatever veggies are left over in a refrigerator. Just steam, shape & sauté them. Put them amidst dog buns and serve it with a spicy sauce. Other great alternatives are carrot dog recipe, frozen corn dogs, seitan dogs,sweet potato cabbage hot dog and tofu dogs. Learn how to make veggie hot dogs in simple steps below.

    There are many such bread-based recipe which uses buns along with veggies. Be it vada pav or pav bhaji. Vegan beyond burgers or mushroom black bean burgers. These recipes are great for kids who are active in sports or need a lot of energy. You may even add some onion powder, garlic powder, in spices and sweet onions in toppings

    9. Steam the vegan dogs for 15-20 mins. I use Ninja op 300 steamer function but you can use any steamer you have.

    10. Once they are steamed, they are pretty much ready to eat. I did not find any need to further roast them. I did try to roast a few and they turned a bit hard as well.

    11. Heat hot dog rolls or bread of your choice in a hot grill pan with a spoonful of oil or butter. Let it cook for couple of minutes and slit in between to assemble.

      Why stream? Can it be air fried or baked in the oven?

        hi Kim, the reason we have steamed these is to cook them (with the lentil flour that was added). You can also air fry them/bake them ,for that keep them in the fridge/freezer for couple of hours, it will help to retain their shape.

      So it’s the little moisture from the vegetables that help bind all the dry flours?

        Yes absolutely,with all those veggies when you mix the flour in the food processor it does not require any additional liquid. you may add few drops in case you still find it not binding but do that only after mixing them in the food processor.
