- 8 whole hot dogs
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 16 pieces (optional) toothpicks
Instructions
Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch length).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and white vinegar to create the sweet and sour sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the hot dog pieces to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown slightly.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the hot dogs, stirring well to coat them evenly.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. If desired, serve with toothpicks to make it easier to grab individual pieces.
