Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt and bring it to a boil.
Carefully separate 8 large cabbage leaves from the head of cabbage, ensuring they remain intact.
Blanch the cabbage leaves by boiling them for 2 minutes or until they become pliable. Remove them with tongs and place them on a towel to dry.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Grill or sear the hot dog sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned.
Take one blanched cabbage leaf and place a hot dog sausage in the center. Wrap the cabbage leaf around the sausage, tucking the ends as you roll. Repeat with the remaining sausages and cabbage leaves.
Optional: To further secure the wraps, you can lightly grill the cabbage-wrapped hot dogs for 2 minutes seam-side down.
Serve the cabbage dogs with mustard, ketchup, or your preferred toppings such as diced onions, shredded cheese, or pickle relish.
