Cartoon recipe for Steven Universe Bagel Dog.


(Transcript, for those not in a position to read the comic panel:

STEVEN: I can't decide! Do I want a bagel or a hot dog?
...Or both? Together?!

AN EVERYTHING BAGEL DOG!

To combine the power of BAGELS and HOTDOGS you need:

A bun
A dog
Cream cheese
1-2 thinly sliced scallions (careful!)
Garlic powder
Poppy seeds
Dried minced onion
Sesame seeds
Salt

1) HOT THE DOG! (heat according to package directions)
2) Toast the bun & schmear it with cream cheese--let it get MELTY
3) Add a pinch of each topping to taste!
4) ENJOY your decision (Steven further ponders, "...Should I add hot sauce to this?")

(Difficulty rating: 1 on a scale of 4; bear in mind that children are the primary target demographic.)

(Variant: some readers have complained that the recipe includes no actual bagel. The solution is simplicity itself: cut your hot dog in two crosswise and lay the halves in the shape of an equals sign atop an Everything Bagel as your bun.)

I'm always looking for creative ways of using up leftover ingredients from making dashi stock. This is one I came up with last morning. I guess it's a bit like spaghetti alla putanesca.

Ingredients:
  • Spaghetti
  • Pre-cooked sardines
  • Pre-steeped bonito flakes
  • Tomato paste
  • Garlic
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Black Pepper
  • Pecorino
  • Vegetable oil (or olive oil)
Directions:
  1. Cook the spaghetti in salted water until just shy of al dente, so a minute less than indicated on the package.
  2. Peel and finely chop a clove of garlic.
  3. Dissolve some tomato paste in a bit of hot water and mix in a teaspoon of sugar.
  4. When the spaghetti is finished cooking, lift it out of the water and into a bowl. Mix in a bit of oil to keep it from sticking. Reserve the pasta water for later.
  5. Add a bit of oil to a pan and bring it up on medium heat. Stir-fry the garlic, sardines, and bonito flakes until fragrant.
  6. Add the dissolved tomato paste and dilute it with some pasta water.
  7. Once the water comes to boil again, add the noodles and stir until most of the liquid evaporates and the sauce thickens.
  8. Transfer the pasta to a bowl or plate and top with grated pecorino and black pepper.
