Korean Corn Dogs Recipe & Instructions

Korean Corn Dogs Recipe & Instructions 🌭🧀

Korean Corn Dogs, also known as K-Dogs, are a crispy, cheesy, deep-fried street food that has taken the world by storm! Unlike traditional American corn dogs, these Korean-style corn dogs are coated in a sweet and crunchy batter, often rolled in panko breadcrumbs, diced potatoes, or ramen noodles, and finished with a dusting of sugar.

Whether you love gooey mozzarella cheese, savory hot dogs, or both combined, this fun and viral snack is easy to make at home!

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4-6)

For the Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup cold water or milk

For the Corn Dogs:

• 3 hot dogs (cut in half)
• 6 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut to match hot dog size)
• Wooden skewers or chopsticks
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
• 1 cup diced potatoes or crushed ramen noodles (optional toppings)

For Frying & Coating:

• Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
• 1/2 cup sugar (for dusting)
• Ketchup & mustard (for serving)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Skewers

1. Skewer each hot dog and cheese piece – You can do half hot dog, half cheese or full cheese-only skewers.
2. Freeze skewers for 15-20 minutes – This helps the batter stick better.

Step 2: Make the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add cold water (or milk) and mix until you get a thick, sticky batter.

Step 3: Coat the Corn Dogs

1. Pour the panko breadcrumbs (or diced potatoes/ramen) onto a plate.
2. Dip each frozen skewer into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
3. Roll the battered skewer in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

Step 4: Fry to Perfection

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place the coated skewers in the oil and fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
3. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Add the Sweet & Savory Finishing Touch

1. While still warm, roll the corn dogs in sugar for the signature Korean touch.
2. Drizzle with ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo.
