- A little carrot (just enough for color)
- Ketchup, to taste
- Honey mustard, to taste
Salad Dressing Seasoning- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 0.5 Tbsp vinegar (adjust to your sourness preference)
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper

- 0.5 Tbsp vinegar (adjust to your sourness preference)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the salad. Finely shred the cabbage. It’s important to shred it thinly so it remains crunchy when you bite into it. For the carrot, julienne it finely, similar to the cabbage, just enough to add a nice pop of color.
Step 2
Make shallow scores across the sausages with a knife; this helps them cook evenly and absorb flavors better. Briefly blanch the sausages in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. Overcooking can diminish their flavor.
Step 3
Lightly grease a pan with a little oil. Place the blanched sausages in the pan and cook over medium-low heat until golden brown on all sides. This will give them a slightly crisp exterior and enhance their flavor.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrot. Add the dressing ingredients: 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 0.5 tablespoon of sugar, 0.5 tablespoon of vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 5
Gently toss the vegetables with the dressing ingredients using chopsticks or a spatula. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the vegetables, ensuring the cabbage stays crisp and the dressing is evenly distributed for a creamy, flavorful salad.
Step 6
Here’s a tip to make your hot dog buns even more delicious: Instead of using them as is, lightly warm them. You can microwave them for about 10-20 seconds, or steam them for 1-2 minutes until they become soft, fluffy, and delightfully chewy. (Using a rice cooker’s ‘keep warm’ or ‘steam’ function also works well.)
Step 7
Slice the prepared hot dog buns horizontally, leaving one side attached if you prefer. Generously fill the buns with the cabbage salad, pressing down lightly. Place the cooked sausages on top of the salad, and finish by drizzling ketchup and honey mustard sauce in a zigzag pattern according to your preference. Your impressive sausage salad buns are now ready!
Step 8
Voila! Your sausage salad buns are complete, boasting a delightful combination of sweet and savory salad with flavorful sausages. They are perfect for a quick snack, a kid-friendly treat, or even as an accompaniment to a cold drink. Enjoy this delicious recipe!
