Ingredients

Metric

Imperial

Barbecue sauce

Coleslaw

Method

1

Mix all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce in a pan, except the butter and soy sauce (these two will be added close to end of the cooking time)  

2

Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer and cook for 1 hour until the sauce is thick and has a dark golden colour. Make sure to whisk constantly whilst simmering to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan

3

When thick and golden, add the soy sauce and the butter and simmer again for 5 minutes

4

Then, let the sauce cool down (keep refrigerated for up to 5 days)

5

Grate the cabbage and carrots and keep refrigerated

6

Make the coleslaw dressing by mixing all the rest of the ingredients listed. Mix well with a whisk until you get a smooth sauce (not grainy, if it does look grainy keep on mixing)

7

Just before serving, dress the vegetables with the sauce

8

Cook your hot dogs in a sauté pan with a bit of vegetable oil until heated through

9

Mince bacon when raw, and then fry until crispy

10

Put some barbecue sauce in a roll, then the hotdog, then more barbecue sauce. Add your coleslaw and sprinkle the crispy bacon
