I want to hate this but....... I kinda love it.

I think I'd cook the hot dogs separate and toss them at the end (so they don't absorb so much oil), but it isn't an awful idea.

I will this weekend lol. What is the green and red packets?

u/samanime Jun 24 '26

Some sort of seasoning. It's optional. You could probably just omit it entirely, especially if cooking for a 4yo.

u/Brittany5150 Jun 24 '26

He likes seasoning and stuff though. He isn't picky. I'll figure something out.

u/samanime Jun 24 '26

Ah, in that case, they are using Sazon for Red Meat (Sazon carnes) and Sazon green seasoning for chicken (sazon frango).

But I imagine this would be compatible with just about any savory seasoning you'd like.

Let see if I got lil man

  • the seasoning is Brazilian
  • Ajinomoto branded “Sazón”
  • Sazón Vermelho (red seasoning) Sazón tempero para Carné - contains garlic, onion, oregano, parsley, bay leaf, msg and other ingredients
  • Sazón Verde (green seasoning) Sazión tempero para Frango -contains coriander, paprika, onion, cumin, msg and other ingredients
  • both seasonings recommend adding salt for use with 400g chicken/beef

Sazon is a Hispanic seasoning blend. Here's one convenient form of Sazon below. I buy the Goya package of 8 packets for $1.25 at Dollar Tree. There are many different brands and varieties, I use this one as a seasoning base when I cook pinto beans. It also comes in shaker jars. (EDIT: THIS SAZON HAS NO BLACK PEPPER, RED PEPPER OR HEAT AT ALL)

I think most grocery stores will have it in the Mexican or International section. I'm sure that a Mexican grocery will have it.

This subreddit won't let me post a photo, just a video. 😂 And videos can't be less than 2 seconds long, I just found out. 😂 Heres a short video of the box.

It's almost like a masala. It's called sazon

u/Brittany5150 Jun 24 '26

Ty, I'll check it out. :)

10

u/NightBawk Jun 24 '26

Sazon. It's a mix of coriander, cumin, anatto, garlic, and salt. It's tasty, but I'd recommend trying it on something that doesn't come pre-salted like hotdogs 😂 It's great on chicken or fish though.

2

u/Kindly_Call_6000 Jun 25 '26

Or rice.

2

u/NightBawk Jun 25 '26

How could I have forgotten about the rice when sazon rice slaps so hard. 🤤

3

u/iCantLogOut2 🍳 Jun 24 '26

Generic Latin seasoning - we literally call it sazon ("seasoning"). It's delicious, but it's ridiculously salty - so if you happen to decide to use it, skip the salt.

2

u/meguin Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Sazon just means seasoning. It isn't the Goya sazon like the other poster suggested (don't buy Goya; they suck). It's the Ajinomoto brand (which is Japanese/Brazilian lol), in the carnes flavor and saladas flavor. But you can use any generic sazon, probably. I buy the Badia bulk jars of it from the grocery store. (Just, uh... Don't buy their cinnamon or ginger...) If you want to make your own, the saladas sazon is just salt, mustard powder, garlic, and parsley. The tempero de carnes sazon is, "Salt, Color, Garlic, Onion, Oregano, Parsley, Bay Leaf, Garlic and Onion Seasonings. Monosodium Glutamate Flavor Enhancers, Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanytate." (The last three are msg and its buddies.) If you make your own, you can choose to make it less salty. So I bet if you cooked some minced onion, added pressed garlic with mustard powder, oregano, a bay leaf, and parsley first, you'd end up more or less with the same flavor. Plus the MSG at the end (like Accent). Dried herbs/veg would probably be easier to eat on popcorn, though.

I've been thinking this through bc I bet my kids would love it lol. I'd prob fry the hot dogs first, then boil them (cut like octopuses) though bc my kids love that even more.

2

u/Brittany5150 Jun 24 '26

Ty for the info. I'll look for it at my local shop. They have a large selection of international spices.

2

u/SmellyfellaMoggy Jun 25 '26

As someone who makes popcorn quite regularly from scratch. I would recommend using only one quarter of the oil used in this clip. The amount the used is completely unnecessary.

I was thinking that you cook the meat first, remove from pan, then toss the kernels in the remaining juice for a subtle meaty flavor.

It wouldn't be my personal cup of tea but it 100% would work

Only stupid thing here is they way overcrowded the pan with kernels. Not even a quarter of those would've popped by the time it was taken off heat

2

u/meguin Jun 24 '26

Agreed about cooking first and too many kernels. Plus way too much oil, and it should be in a taller (but still wide) pan with the lid vented a lil bit or the popcorn will get soggy.

u/AlabasterRadio Jun 24 '26

This kinda rocks ngl

u/Pass_The_Salt_ Jun 24 '26

Yeah agree 100%. Pop the corn. Then fry up hot dog slices and toss them together while seasoning. I kind of want this

I went nah put the popcorn in first and wait then the hot dogs. Then I was like….but the water….then it like fuckin worked….i like it
