Let us know how it was!Korean Corndogs

Korean-Style Corn Dogs (Pogo-Style)
300kcal
Ingredients
- warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- all-purpose flour
- 8 count hot dogs (wieners) may be halved if desired
- 8 slices cheese (optional) for wrapping around wieners
- 8 sticks popsicle sticks or chopsticks (skewers)
- vegetable oil for frying
- crushed ramen noodles or crushed frozen fries (optional coating)
Method
- Add sugar and yeast to warm water; set aside until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy.
- In a bowl, mix flour (amount not specified in original recipe) and salt.
- Add the foamy yeast water to the flour mixture and stir until a smooth dough forms.
- Set the dough aside to rise for about 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
- Skewer each wiener on a popsicle stick or chopstick; halving the wieners can make skewering and coating easier.
- If using cheese, wrap a slice of cheese around the wiener (optional) and chill briefly so the cheese firms up.
- Using a chopstick or your hands, wrap a portion of the sticky dough evenly around each skewered wiener; use scissors to trim excess dough if needed.
- For an extra-crunchy coating, roll the dough-wrapped wiener in crushed ramen noodles or crushed frozen fries.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to about 300°F (approximate) and deep-fry the corn dogs in batches until golden brown and heated through.
- Remove from oil, drain briefly on paper towels, and serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite sauce.
