Hot Dogs
ホットドッグ
By Aoi, licensed nutritionist · From a Japanese preschool lunch menu
Hot dogs are a favorite on Japanese preschool lunch and snack menus, and they could hardly be simpler: a soft dinner roll, a boiled wiener sausage and a thin spread of ketchup. Boiling the sausages keeps them juicy without any extra oil, and the plain, mild flavors are exactly what little ones love. Cutting the finished hot dog into small pieces means even toddlers can pick it up and eat it on their own.

Values are per serving (1.5× the Japanese preschool portion); an adult serving is double. They were calculated by a licensed Japanese nutritionist using the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan. "Salt equivalent" is sodium × 2.54, the standard Japanese measure. Allergen flags cover egg, milk and wheat only and come from the nutritionist's records. Soy sauce and miso are made with wheat but are usually allowed on Japanese wheat-free school menus, so check with your doctor.
