Korean Hot Dogs Recipes

KOREAN STYLE "HOTDOG" AKA CORN DOG

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, sift the flour and sweet rice flour together. Add the sugar, salt and yeast on to the flour mixture.
• In a separate small bowl, mix together the water and vegetable oil. Pour into the flour mixture. Mix well and knead until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Cover with a plastic wrap and place in a warm place until the dough has doubled. About one hour.
• Prepare the skewers. You can play with options here: one hot dog, one stick of blocked cheese, or a mix of the two. Make the 6 skewers as you please, and set aside.
• If using hot dogs, prepare them as stated on the package (I usually boil them for a few minutes).
• For the skewers, I like to do about ½ a hot dog and a similar length and fatness chunk of mozzarella cheese. For the cheese, lay the block next to the hotdog and cut in a similar width so the corndog will be similar size throughout the the stick.
• Prepare the breadcrumbs. Spread 1-2 cups of breadcrumbs on to a flat plate. Set aside.
• Gently pat the proofed dough and remove the gas bubbles.
• Separate the dough into 6 equal pieces. Take one dough, and roll it out into a long strip; long enough to wrap around the corn dog. Take one skewer, beginning from the bottom, wrap it around until the top. Pinch all the sides together so it becomes smooth. Roll the corn dog in bread crumbs. Repeat with the other skewers.
• Heat a pot with frying oil (corn oil, vegetable oil), until the heat reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius). If you don't have a thermometer, drop in a few breadcrumbs and the oil is ready when they bubble to the top.
• Fry each hotdog until it is golden brown on the outside. Lay on a baking rack.
• *Optional: If you want to enjoy it the Korean way, spread ½ cup of sugar on to a plate. Roll the fried hotdog on the plate for something extra special.
• Squirt a thin strip of ketchup on to the hot just-fried hotdog and enjoy. If you used cheese, it will be stringy if enjoyed when still hot!

KOREAN HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Cook the hot dogs following pack instructions. Mix the honey, mayo, gochujang and vinegar in a bowl.
• Split the buns in half, put a hot dog in each and divide the kimchi between them. Drizzle with the spicy mayo, then top with a few carrot ribbons and some sesame seeds.

KOREAN HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Break disposable wooden chopsticks apart and skewer your hot dogs, sausage or mozzarella. I made some with sausages, a few with cheese, and a few that are half sausage and half cheese.
• Pat dry the hot dogs, sausage and cheese and place into fridge to keep cold while making batter.
• Add flour, sugar, salt and baking powder to a large bowl. Whisk until evenly blended. Add in milk and egg. Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. The batter should be very thick and sticky. When you lift your whisk, the batter should not run off it. You do not want the batter to be runny because then the batter will run off the hot dogs when you coat them. Make sure to use egg and milk straight from the fridge so that the batter is cold when it's finished. If your kitchen is really warm, you may need to refrigerate the batter briefly to get it cold.
• Pour the batter into a loaf pan. This will make it easier to coat the entire hot dog at once since you should be able fit all of it inside the loaf pan. In a separate loaf pan, add panko.
• Pour oil into pan being used for frying. You want to add enough oil so that it is deep enough to cover the entire hot dog once the hot dog is placed in. Bring oil to about 350°F.
• Remove skewers from fridge. To coat, turn the hot dog/sausage/cheese a few times in the batter until it is coated. You can then use your fingers to help evenly spread out the batter or remove some of the batter if your coating is too thick. Keep in mind that your batter will expand once it is fried so you don't want your coating to be too thick. Make sure your hot dog/sausage/cheese is completely sealed in batter.
• Roll the hot dog in panko breadcrumbs. While the sticky batter will pick up some of the breadcrumbs, I also like to sprinkle and press more on with my hands to make sure every crevice is covered in panko.
• Working quickly, repeat with remaining hot dogs/sausages/cheese. If it is taking you a while to coat, keep coated ones in fridge. You should especially keep any cheese only ones in fridge until ready to fry. You should have enough batter for at least 6 hot dogs.
• Add 2-3 hot dogs to the hot oil at a time. Cook a few minutes on both sides, until batter is dark golden brown and batter is fully cooked.
• Sprinkle hot dogs with sugar. Drizzle with condiments of your choice.

KOREAN STREET FOOD-STYLE POTATO HOT DOGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center, add the egg and milk, and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to tall glass, then chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Make the potatoes: Dice the potatoes into ¼-inch cubes, then transfer to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 1 hour to remove excess starch, then drain.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 3-4 minutes, until cooked ¾ way through. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pat the potatoes dry and transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and toss to coat.
• Make the cheese dogs: Heat 4-5 inches of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Cut each hot dog in half crosswise.
• Cut the mozzarella block into 4 rectangles to match the size of the hot dog halves.
• Thread a hot dog half and a cheese stick onto each wooden chopstick. Lightly coat in flour.
• Transfer the potatoes to a plate or baking sheet. Add the panko bread crumbs to a separate plate or the same baking sheet.
• Dip a cheese dog in the batter to coat fully, then place on the potatoes, packing tightly to adhere. Coat in the panko bread crumbs. Repeat with the remaining cheese dogs.
• Fry the potato hot dogs, 2 at a time, in the hot oil for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
• Sprinkle the potato hot dogs with sugar and drizzle with ketchup.
• Enjoy!

KOREAN CORN DOG RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the sausages and mozzarella cheese into 4cm width pieces.
• On a baking tray or plate, spread the panko breadcrumbs and chopped fries on opposite sides.
• Arrange the sausages and mozzarella cheese sticks onto skewers. You can make mozzarella corn dogs by just using the cheese and not the sausage.
• In a bowl, mix together your dry ingredients and slowly incorporate the milk and egg. If your batter seems too thick, add more milk in 20 ml increments. You want a thick and sticky consistency. The batter should stick to the skewers and not drip off easily. Place the mixture in a glass.
• Dip your skewers into the glass of thick batter.
• Remove the excess and roll in the panko breadcrumbs or chopped fries. A mixture between the two will also work well. Press the breadcrumbs and or chopped fries gently to help the coating stay on the skewers.
• Deep fry these at 160-170 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Only fry 2-3 skewers at one time to make sure the temperature of the oil stays consistent.
• Leave to cool before sprinkling sugar and adding condiments.
