Korean Teriyaki Hot Dog

I bought a package of Filipino red hot dogs at my local Asian market with the intention of having them with rice and eggs for breakfast, a dish posted here in March called Hotsilog.  I wondered how else they could be cooked and I discovered a recipe on Omma's Kitchen on YouTube.  This is possibly one of the best fast food dishes I've ever made.  The hot dogs are cut on the diagonal and stir-fried with onion and garlic, then a small splash of soy sauce and sugar are added, just a scant teaspoon of each.  Served with an egg and you have a quick and easy lunch. 

Egg Fried Rice with Scallions and Ginger

My biggest challenge in the kitchen is to use everything I buy and to not waste food.  A friend of mine who was born in France but came to the U.S. at the age of 20, learned life long lessons about food and never allowing a single thing to go to waste.  She's the only person I know who is like that and it seems everyone I talk to says they too can do better about not wasting food.  So today, instead of having my usual hash brown patty with a fried egg on top for breakfast, I used up some rice from several days ago, and some scallions that looked like they were close to being put in the disposal, and I made a wonderful and simple fried rice.  I cooked the rice, scallions and a little fresh minced ginger in canola oil until it was a little crispy in places then tossed in a whisked egg.  It only takes a few minutes for the egg to set and breakfast is ready.  I topped it with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and salt and before I had finished I wanted a little spice so I added a dash of Sriracha.
