Korean Corn Dogs Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Corn Dog:
- 4-6 hot dogs (beef, pork, or turkey)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup corn flour (or substitute with more all-purpose flour)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sparkling water (or regular water)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Wooden skewers
- Oil for frying (preferably vegetable or canola)
Optional Toppings:
- Potato starch (for extra crunch)
- Sweet chili sauce
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Korean mayonnaise
- Sugar (for dusting)
- Shredded seaweed or chopped peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Hot Dogs and Cheese:
- Skewer each hot dog and mozzarella stick onto wooden skewers, alternating if desired.
- If using potatoes, cut them into fries and set aside.
-
Make the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, corn flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Gradually add sparkling water, whisking until you get a thick batter. The batter should be somewhat like pancake batter in consistency. Adjust water or flour as needed.
-
Coat the Skewers:
- If you want an extra crunchy texture, roll your skewered hot dogs and cheese in potato starch before dipping.
- Dip the skewered hot dog and cheese into the batter, coating it evenly. Make sure it's fully covered.
-
Fry the Corn Dogs:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a pot over medium-high heat (about 350°F or 180°C).
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the battered corn dogs to the oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure even frying.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once fried, remove the corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.
- While they are still hot, you can dust them with sugar for a sweet touch if desired.
-
Garnish and Condiments:
- Serve the Korean corndogs hot with your choice of condiments such as ketchup, mustard, sweet chili sauce, or Korean mayonnaise.
- Optionally, sprinkle with shredded seaweed or chopped peanuts for extra flavor and texture.
