4.9 from 74 reviews

Korean Corn Dogs are a delicious street food favorite featuring hot dogs and mozzarella cheese coated in a fluffy, slightly sweet batter, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. This recipe combines the crispy exterior with a melty cheese and savory hot dog interior for a satisfying snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 4 mozzarella sticks (or mozzarella cheese cut into sticks)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough to deep fry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and sugar. Gradually add warm water and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes until it slightly puffs up.
  2. Assemble the Corn Dogs: Skewer each hot dog and mozzarella stick with a stick or skewer. Dip each skewer into the batter, ensuring the hot dog and cheese are completely and evenly coated.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to about 2-3 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Corn Dogs: Carefully place the battered corn dogs into the hot oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the corn dogs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is maintained to avoid greasy corn dogs.
  • Using both hot dogs and mozzarella provides a delightful texture contrast.
  • You can add sugar or seasonings like salt or pepper to the batter to adjust flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
