Ingredients
  

  • 12 Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls 1 pack
  • 6 beef hot dogs (bun length works great)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Garlic scallion oil

  • 1 cup scallions chopped
  • 8-10 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • Small pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the toppings

  • Slice the scallions thinly. Mince the garlic. Slice the sausages in half to get 12 of them — each should be about the length of one Hawaiian roll.
    1 cup scallions, 8-10 cloves garlic, 6 beef hot dogs
  • Heat up a pan on medium low heat. Add neutral oil, chopped scallions, and minced garlic.
    3 tbsp neutral oil
  • Saute for about 3 mins or until garlic becomes lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the pan into a heatproof bowl, along with all of the oil.
  • To the pan, add the halved sausages. Cook for 2-3 mins or until they’re lightly seared, moving them occasionally. Remove from the pan.
  • To the garlic scallion oil, add salt and sesame oil. Mix and set aside.
    Small pinch of salt, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • In a small bowl, mix together mayo and ketchup. Set aside.
    1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup

Assemble the rolls

  • Remove the rolls from the package, and separate each roll by hand. With a bread knife, slice 3 slits (about halfway deep) into the rolls.

  • Brush the garlic scallion oil all over the top and into the slits of each roll, making sure to save a bit for the top later. Add a sausage into the middle slit of each roll.
  • Top the sausage with about 1 tsp of the mayo ketchup mixture.
  • Add shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese all over the top, making sure to cover any exposed bread on the top (this will protect it from getting too toasty). Lastly, top with any leftover garlic scallion oil.

  • Set your oven to broil low (350F), and broil for 5-7 mins or until cheese melts and browns slightly. Make sure to keep an eye on it, as it can get too toasty quickly!
