So we're going to do a little crispy fish taco.
I think a lot of people are scared of frying fish at home.
So I'm going to show them how simple it is, really.
We have some seasoned flour here,
some local Florida genuine red snapper,
that we're just going to dredge in flour really quick,
and cayenne and a little bit of salt
and then always like tap that off a little bit.
You don't want excess stuff in your tempura,
Right.
And then you're basically just going to move it around
and then I'm going to fry it.
And it fries so fast.
Look!
Ta da!
(Rachael laughing)
The fastest fish taco you're ever gonna eat, Rachael.
So now I've got a little slaw here
to kind of like counterbalance that,
like, you know, some of the grease
and fattiness of the fried fish,
with a little bit of a slaw that has some cabbage,
which you can buy just the coleslaw mix from the store,
some green onions, some radishes, some lime juice,
a little vinegar,
because everything's better with vinegar and lime.
And then a little bit of sesame seed.
And we're going to give that a quick toss.
Nice. Nice touch with the sesame. Love that.
Yes, I love sesame, it adds such a nutty,
like yummy note to everything, you know.
Yeah. So great.
And then we're going to build this puppy
very, very simply
with some Sriracha Mayo.
Nice.
The fish,
the slaw.
Gorgeous.
And a little lime on the side, bon appetit!
You know, in Minnesota,
we have this thing that we call Minnesota sushi.
You know, it is generally ham or sometimes corn beef.
They spread it with cream cheese
and wrap it around a pickle.
It is a staple at pretty much all
family gatherings, holidays.
So I'm kind of kicking it up a notch.
I'm going to do that around a hot dog.
Mix that with a jalapeno cream cheese.
Ah!
And make what I call a little jalapeno pickle roll dog.
I'm going to go.
You can take a hot dog.
You know, pick whatever your favorite kind
of store bought hot dog is.
I like ones with the nice thick casing on them, all beef.
So we're going to get those just searing in a pan.
If you have the option to do it in a grill,
do it on a grill.
If you got to boil it in water, boil it in water,
but just get your hot dog hot.
I love. that you like a natural casing.
It gives you a great snap.
Yes. It's that little crunch on it,
that it's not just all mush in your mouth.
So while that hot dog is getting hot,
we're gonna need a little cream cheese,
and you're gonna want to make sure you get
like a nice whipped cream cheese. So it's spreadable.
If you've got to get the brick,
leave it out at room temp for a while so it's nice and soft.
Yep. Beautiful
Add some jalapenos to that. Diced up.
Remove the seeds on that just so
it's not overwhelmingly hot,
but if you do want something with a little extra kick,
feel free to leave the seeds in there
and have a nice little spice party in your mouth.
(Rachael laughing)
Hot dog is searing up.
Then we're going to take some nice sliced,
some thick sliced ham.
And we're just going to spread this
cream cheese and jalapeno mixture, right on top of that.
This is so crazy. I can't even believe I'm seeing this.
I'm telling you Rachel, if you come to any potluck,
any Christmas, anything in Minnesota,
somebody is bringing a version of a pickle roll up.
I absolutely promise you.
We're going to grab some pickles.
Definitely want to dill on this.
You want to have that dill flavor,
that garlicky-ness, that crunch.
So we're just going to top
that cream cheese and jalapeno mixture
with some diced up dill pickles.
Our hot dog is almost heated all the way through.
Then we're going to take this hot dog,
got some nice color on it.
That natural casing, got that nice snap.
We're going to set it right in between
our little ham and pickle blanket.
We're going to twist that around.
Oh, my.
Dang.
Head exploding!
And that is going to sit right inside of
our hot dog, right there.
So, I mean, it is literally a perfect, spicy,
cheesy, hammy blanket around a beautifully cooked hot dog.
Super fast snack you can make for games, for parties,
or if you're just sitting at home watching fast foodies
and you need a snack. So.
I am down with Minnesota's sushi rolls, man.
Awesome. Well done, sir.
Well done.
