- Hi I'm Rie, I'm a Tasty producer.
As always, I've been challenged to take a common food
and make it fancy.
But first, I have news.
This is by far our most requested t-shirt.
I like using alcohol, yes.
If you wanna check it out, go to ShopMakeItFancy.com.
Let's see what we are making fancy today.
Drum roll.
Hotdogs.
I had hotdogs before.
I'm more like a burger person than hotdogs.
So in my dictionary, hotdogs is the sandwich.
I like relish, ketchup, mustard, basically everything.
It's not only hotdogs but I feel like
whenever you eat outside, food tastes better.
Without bread, without toppings,
I think this hot dog smells a little too strong,
flavor is also a little bit offputting.
It's a weird smell.
The same color.
This might be a tough day at work,
but as always, I'm excited to make it fancy.
All right, here's what I got.
Rosemary, sage, fennel, arugula,
ground pork, parsley, endive, Dijon mustard,
dill, thyme, lemon and eggs.
From the pantry I got olive oil, flour,
salt, pepper, and Panko.
Okay, let's get started.
Make it fancy.
First, boil some eggs.
I will need four.
Drop this egg, gentle.
I want to make it soft boil,
so I'm cooking for six minutes and a half.
I love eggs because you can use it
for savory and dessert and it transforms
and it's just magical ingredient.
And I also wish I can lay egg instead of giving birth.
Have you seen panda giving birth?
- [Male] No.
- It just like pops out.
Panda baby also creepy though.
It look like fingers.
It looks like a hot dog.
Okay, so it's been six minutes and a half.
Take this out, put it in the ice water,
because if you just leave it there,
room temperature, when you peel egg it's very difficult,
but if you shock boil the egg like this
it's very easy to peal.
I'm going to leave these eggs about 10 minutes in ice water
and moving on to the next step.
We have hotdogs here.
Personally I think this is sausage,
and hotdog is the one with the buns.
I'm putting all hotdogs in the food processor.
And pulse.
- [Male] Rie, did you know that hotdogs
have been sent to space?
- That's another reason I'm not interested going to space,
'cause the food source is very limited.
This looks offputting but it looks good
for what I'm going to make.
What do you think alien's gonna eat?
Hotdog?
I think they eat something soft
'cause they don't have a strong jawline.
Based on those, you know, typically alien looking aliens,
you know.
And I need five ounce of ground pork,
and one tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
And I'm gonna go straight in and add some nice greens.
I'm gonna start with sage, and I just mince.
Sage going in.
Doing the same as rosemary.
Rosemary is a little tough,
so I want to make sure it is finely chopped.
Rosemary in.
I do the parsley.
Also, hotdogs is just pink blobs,
so I want to make it look nicer.
Parsley goes in.
So I'm adding about two sprigs of thyme.
Mix everything nicely.
You can use spatula, but I'm using gloves.
I'm not adding any seasoning for this mixture,
'cause hotdogs is already pretty salty.
The fresh herbs and Dijon mustard
works well to mask this smell.
Now I don't smell hotdog anymore.
Right, so mixture is ready,
and I'm moving on to next step.
We have soft boiled egg, and you want to peal it.
I go little by little.
Make sure it's smooth and not breaking.
The eggs are pealed.
Flatten this meat mixture on my hand.
Put the egg and kinda wrap around it.
It's soft boiled, so don't push it too hard.
Nice big egg wrapped with meat.
Coat with flour.
Shake off excess flour.
Always egg.
Egg coating with egg.
And going to the Panko.
So Panko, it's Japanese breadcrumb.
Pan means bread.
Ko is flour.
I like it 'cause it's a little crunchier.
There we go.
These are looking good.
I'm going to clear this station
and moving onto next step.
My hotdog eggs are in a refrigerator.
Meanwhile I got this lemon, squeeze, set aside.
Crack.
Two egg yolk.
So I'm adding two teaspoon of lemon juice
and one teaspoon of Dijon mustard,
and slowly, using immersion blender,
adding olive oil.
You can make this with whisk,
but immersion blender makes much much easier.
When I was working at the restaurant
I used to make a gallon by whisk.
Your arm feels like jello.
Okay, so it looks good.
Transfer this in a glass bowl.
And this is a little thick,
I want to make it a little bit more saucy.
I'm adding one tablespoon more lemon juice,
and tablespoon of Dijon, and season with salt.
Okay, this is look good.
I have whole fennel.
Some people throw away this part
but this is edible, you should use it.
I'm gonna kinda pick it.
If you're going on hike on Los Angeles,
sometimes you can find on the hike paths.
We can also use the stem but I'm going to use bulb today.
Trim the end.
Slice kinda thin.
Next I'm cutting endive.
Trim here and then trim the top.
Cut in half.
I'm gonna also use some dill.
This smells very nice and refreshing.
Some arugula.
And we have leftover lemon juice and olive oil,
so just kinda season.
It's a simple salad, so I'm kinda sprinkling everything.
Mm, very nice.
My salad is ready.
So I got my hotdog egg from the fridge.
I'm frying two at a time because I don't
want to crowd the pan.
I'm frying at 350 on high, about six to eight minutes,
until golden brown or in Japanese,
(speaking in foreign language)
which is foxy color.
Have you been to Channel Island?
There are foxes and they are not afraid of humans,
so sometimes they pretend they are injured
and try to get food from people.
Nice golden brown color.
Take this out.
Sprinkle some salt while it's hot.
Second batch.
Nice.
Season.
Let's bring everything together.
We've got simple salad and we've got hotdog scotch egg,
and we are going to plate it.
Nice drop and use back of your spoon,
kinda swoosh.
Nice mount of salad.
Cut this in half.
Moment of truth.
Nice.
Now we are done.
(gentle music)
Hotdog scotch egg, very fancy.
