Notes

Cooking Tips of Korean Corn Dog Recipe:

1. Perfect Dough Consistency
To achieve the perfect dough consistency, ensure your yeast is fully dissolved and activated in the mixture before adding the flour. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, which helps it coat the hot dogs evenly. Letting the dough rise adequately in a warm place will result in a light and airy texture.
2. Ensuring French Fries Stick
Coat the cubed French fries with a light layer of cornstarch to help them adhere better to the dough-covered hot dogs. Gently press the fries onto the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed for consistent crunchiness. This step ensures that the fries remain attached during frying and add the desired texture.
3. Achieving the Perfect Fry
Heat the oil to the right temperature, around 350°F (175°C), before frying to ensure a crispy exterior without burning. Fry the corn dogs until they are golden brown, typically around five minutes, for an even cook. Use a wire rack to drain excess oil, keeping the corn dogs crispy and not greasy.
