Helpful Tips:
1. Daphne's lightened-up hot dog is inspired by a Banh Mi Sandwich, which is a Vietnamese snack consisting of a baguette hollowed-out and filled with a variety of ingredients, including: meat, pickled vegetables, and chili peppers.
2. Pickling your own veggies is easy. All you need is vinegar, salt and sugar.
