While corn dogs may be a simple, cheap treat in America, they've been a street vendor staple in Korea since the 1980s. Korean corn dogs have evolved and are enjoyed everywhere.
The corn dog was brought to Korea by American soldiers after World War ll. However, unlike the American version, a Korean corn dog has different meats and cheeses.
Korean corn dogs can be made with sausage, mozzarella cheese, or fish cake. The meat or cheese is fried in a yeasted batter made of rice or wheat flour and coated with panko.
This makes the corn dog extra crunchy and crisp. Korean corn dogs are then dusted in sugar and rolled in toppings like crushed ramen noodles or hot Cheetos.
They are then drizzled with anything from sweet chili sauce to classic condiments like ketchup. While this treat might resemble a classic corn dog, they are very different.
