The Magic of Korean Corn Dogs
Korean Corn Dogs, or Hot Dogs as they are known in Korea, are a far cry from the classic American Corn Dog. Imagine a hot dog, but instead of being simply dipped in cornmeal batter and deep-fried, it’s coated in a thick layer of dough, rolled in breadcrumbs, and then fried to golden perfection. It’s a dish that’s both sweet and savory, crunchy and soft.
- Sweet and savory: The sugar coating on the outside gives it a sweet taste, which is contrasted by the savory sausage within.
- Crunchy and soft: The outside is crunchy from the breadcrumbs, while the inside remains soft and chewy from the dough.
