The “hot dog” has had many variations, so it was inevitable that Chinese cuisine would come up with a variation. Various recipes appeared in the 1960s (see below), usually with small hot dogs wrapped like Chinese dumplings.
 
The restaurants Eden Wok (in New York City) and Chai Peking (in Atlanta) have their versions of the 21st century Chinese hot dogs. An egg roll skin is wrapped around the frankfurter, somewhat resembling a corn dog.

ALL-AMERICAN TREAT
For 94 years, Kunzler & Co. has followed the same basic family recipe to make its hot dogs.
 
But when company executive Chris Kunzler III realized there was a market for hot dogs in Russia - if they had loads of garlic in them - company nutritionists quickly devised a new, kielbasa-like hot dog recipe. And when he learned of a second, major export market in the People’s Republic of China - if the hot-dogs could be made super sweet - the food scientists at the Manor..

There was Chow-Chow Cup, of blessed memory. We savored chicken chow mein that came in that wonderful bowl made of Chinese noodles, and the Chinese hot dogs, just corn dogs on a stick, really, that came encased in a wrapper with Chinese lettering all over.

If you have more chutzpah, sample the Chinese hot dog, an all-beef frank in a won ton wrapper.

Orange Dog serves you normal hot dogs

For foreigners who have got fed up with weird Chinese hot dogs, a swollen big bun with a small Chinese sausage inside, it is more than just exciting to stumble upon Orange Dog, where everything looks and tastes “normal”.

One such item is a “Chinese hot dog.” That’s an all-beef frankfurter wrapped in pastrami, then wrapped in an eggroll wrapper, and then deep-fried.

Chop Suey is Swingin’ Stuff
 
Tonight we ate Chinese take-out for dinner. It was disappointing, but we have yet to find any adequate dining options here in Hollyweird (Florida, that is), so I’m not surprised.
 
In the spirit of my crummy supper, I present to you, dear reader, a sampling of authentic, Chinese recipes and supping protocol from a cook book published in 1964.
 
My handsome man found this one in a thrift store about ten years ago and we have not tried even one of these very colorful recipes (we are lame). So, best of luck to any brave souls out there, willing to try their hand at “barbecue sausages”!
(...)
Mmmm, nothing makes me hungrier for Chinese food than overly saturated menu pictures—and I am totally making those sumptuous Chinese Hot Dogs at my next party!
 
[Pg. 96:
CHINESE HOT DOGS.
—LAP CHEUNG GUEN—
Use the same recipe that you would use for steamed barbecued pork dumplings. Substitute the pork with Sausages.
6 Sausages—cut in half.
Wrap the dough around the sausages and place in dish and steam. Serve piping hot..]

Hot Dogs From Column A, Pastrami Egg Rolls From Column B
By Jennifer 8. Lee
 
New York City has been the longstanding center of the Jewish love of Chinese food. So it is only natural that this love has created its own contributions to the culinary universe, among them Chinese hot dogs (beef frankfurters in egg roll skins) and pastrami egg rolls (exactly what it sounds like). Both are available from the glatt kosher Chinese restaurant Eden Wok, which was a part of the Kosher war of the woks.
(...)
Lest one think that New York has a lock on these Jewish-Chinese culinary creations, City Room would note that the skin on the Chinese hot dog from Eden Wok — which has locations in Manhattan and Westchester County — was thick and doughy. That paled in comparison with the Chinese hot dog at Chai Peking in Atlanta (Item No. 105 for $2.50).
 
Chai Peking’s hot dog has a nice twist: the hot dog is wrapped in pastrami before it is fried in wonton skin. Chai Peking, which is the only glatt kosher Chinese restaurant for a 700-mile radius, takes takeout and delivery to an extreme level. People have flown in on private planes or driven two hours each way across multiple state borders to get Chai Peking takeout.
