Korean Corn Dogs Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Fill a large stock pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer with canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Reduce the heat to medium to maintain the temperature. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and place it nearby.
• Prepare the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool to room temperature, 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and toss until well coated, shaking off and discarding any excess.
• Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup of milk and the egg until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. The batter should be fairly thick; if it is too thick to whisk, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the batter to a pint glass or another tall, narrow container. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Thread each hot dog half onto the pointy end of a skewer, cut-side up, pushing down to about 2 inches below the tip. Thread the mozzarella rectangles onto the skewers above the hot dogs so they are flush with the cut ends of the hot dogs and the tips of the skewers.
• Add the panko, floured potatoes, and rice puffs to individual plates or small trays.
• Working one at a time, dip a cheese and hot dog skewer into the cup with the batter, coating completely. Gently shake off any excess batter.
• For the original dogs: Roll a battered dog in the panko bread crumbs until well coated, using your fingers to pack on the bread crumbs as needed.
• For the potato dogs: Roll a battered dog in the floured potatoes, using your hands to pack on the potatoes to ensure they stick. Immediately roll the potato-coated dog in the panko bread crumbs until completely coated.
• For the crispy rice dogs: Roll a battered dog in rice puffs until completely coated, using your fingers to pack on the puffs as needed.
• Place the coated dogs in the hot oil, 2-3 at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, using tongs to turn as needed. Transfer to the wire rack and sprinkle all over with sugar (use tongs when turning; the sticks will be very hot). Repeat with the remaining corn dogs to make 4 of each kind.
• To serve, drizzle ketchup and mustard over the corn dogs.
• Enjoy!

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!
