Yakisoba Dogs

Yakisoba Dog

I’m a sucker for fusion food. So when I heard about Vancouver’s Japadog, I was instantly envious. If you’ve never heard of Japadog, please, let me enlighten you

(Or rather, let me embed a clip of  No Reservations in which Anthony Bourdain enlightens you on the awesomeness that is Japadog.)

So now we’re all on the same page: hot dog + Japanese toppings = awesomeness. And I wanted to try it for myself but alas, I am not such a superstar that I can just randomly board a plane to Vancouver to try one of these beauties.

My original plan was to recreate the mouthwatering and ever so popular terimayo dog but decided instead to go with sort of tribute dog in the form of a yakisoba topped dog. Because, well, carbs are absolutely delicious and panfried noodles as a hot dog topping couldn’t possibly be a bad thing, right?

So here’s my take on a Japadog-esque yakisoba dog, topped with yakisoba, okonomiyaki sauce, mayo, bonito flakes and aonori. It went over really well with my friends as part of a hot dog bar.
