๋‚ ์งœ:

Kids with Crohn's disease often crave crispy, savory snacks like hot dogs, but regular fried foods can be hard on digestion. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Traditional hot dogs use wheat-based batter and are deep-fried in oils high in saturated fats – a big no-no for sensitive tummies.

But don’t worry! ๐Ÿ˜‰
By using extra light olive oil and a gluten-free batter, you can make a healthier version that's still crispy and delicious while being easy to digest. Let’s dive into this Crohn's-friendly Korean-style hot dog recipe! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿข Crohn's-Friendly Korean-Style Hot Dog Recipe

๐Ÿ‘‰ (All the crispy goodness with less digestive stress!)



✅ Ingredients (Serves 2)

๐Ÿฅ„ For the hot dog:

  • Chicken breast sausage – 2 pieces → Low fat + High protein
  • Rice flour – 1 cup → Gluten-free and easier to digest
  • Almond flour – 1/2 cup → Adds a nutty flavor + healthy fats
  • Baking powder – 1 tsp → Makes the batter light and crispy
  • Egg – 1 → Helps the batter stick
  • Milk (or soy milk) – 1/2 cup → Keeps the batter moist
  • Honey – 1 tsp → Adds natural sweetness
  • Salt – A pinch

๐Ÿฅ„ For frying:

  • Extra light olive oil – Sufficient amount → High smoke point + healthy fats

๐Ÿฅ„ Toppings:

  • Ketchup – Small amount (opt for low-sugar or no-sugar added)
  • Honey or maple syrup – Small amount
  • Parmesan cheese (optional) – Adds a savory, nutty flavor

๐Ÿณ Instructions

① Make the batter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the egg, milk, and honey, and mix until smooth.
  • The batter should be slightly thick so that it sticks to the sausage. If it's too thin, add a bit more rice flour.

② Coat the sausage

  • Dip the chicken breast sausage into the batter and coat evenly.
  • If you want to make a cheese hot dog, wrap the sausage with mozzarella or cheddar cheese first.
  • Let the coated sausages rest in the fridge for about 5 minutes to set the batter.

③ Fry in olive oil

✅ Oil temperature tip:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Heat the olive oil to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
๐Ÿ‘‰ Test by dropping a bit of batter – if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.

  • Fry the coated sausages for 2–3 minutes until golden brown, turning them occasionally.
  • Avoid over-frying, as too much oil absorption can cause digestive issues.
  • Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

④ Add toppings

  • Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a sweet-savory balance.
  • For a cheesier touch, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Use ketchup or mustard sparingly to keep the salt content low.
