The Korean street corn dog is a popular Korean street food that you can now make at home! Korean “hot dogs,” also known as Korean Street Corn Dogs, are a typical tasty street snack in Korea. These delights on a stick gained their claim to fame when Korean mukbangers and others worldwide began showcasing this food item on their social media platforms.
I would drool at the long cheese pulls they would get off the first bite.
I used to watch ASMR and Mukbangers eat this snack all the time. Sadly we don’t have anywhere I live. My first time trying them was when I visited San Diego. I loved them so much that I decided to make my own at home! I have two recipes to choose from. One is a traditional chewy, fluffy one that takes patience and practice. While the other is more of a pancake smooth batter that takes less time and effort. Both are good; it’s just up to you which one you want to choose from.
It’s more than just a hot dog or corn dog.
This delicious snack isn’t just your typical plain bun and sausage stuck in between each other. The dough of a Korean street corn dog is slightly chewy, sweet, and the outside layer is covered with panko bread crumbs to give it a nice crunch. You can have cheese sticks, sausages, or a half combo of link and cheese as the filling. A big block of mozzarella is my all-time favorite. It melts in the cooking process and gives you a BEAUTIFULLY cheese stretch on the first bite. If all the talk about the ooey gooey cheese pull didn’t sell you, this isn’t the recipe for you.
You can get creative with how you decorate your corn dogs. You can roll the outside with your favorite crushed-up chips, sugar (yes, I said sugar), or have them plain. The best way to have it is rolled with sugar after frying. It’s something about the crunchy and sweet texture that works so well together. Top it with spicy ketchup, honey mustard, or spicy mayo, and we got a snack! So batter up, and let’s get cooking!
Enjoy!

Instructions
Directions for Chewy Corn Dogs:
- Whisk together warm milk, yeast, and sugar together. Let it sit for 5 minutes to let the yeast bloom. Even though it says “instant yeast” you want to let it sit to make sure the yeast is still active. If it doesn’t become frothy, throw it away and start over.
- Mix together flour and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour mixture and make a well. Slowly add in water then the milk mixture. Incorporate all the ingredients together until it makes a sticky like paste.
- Let the dough rest in a warm area and rise for 30 minutes. Your batter should double in size by now.
- While waiting for the dough to rise, prep the corn dogs. Skewer together your choice of sausages, mozzarella cheese, or half – half.
- To prepare the sausage and cheese, cut the sausage in half. Make sure the sausage and cheese are equal length, using the sausage as a guide. Skew to desired combinations.
- For the toppings have panko crumbs, sugar, or crushed chips in a flat plate for rolling.
- Heat oil in a frying pan at 350°F.
- When the dough is ready, insert the skewers in the batter and start twisting it to fully cover it. Add more batter if it’s not fully coated. Roll it in panko crumbs or crushed chips and place it in the oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until it is golden brown. Constantly turn corndogs to cook evenly.
- After frying, place on a cooling rack and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. When it is cool enough to touch, roll it in sugar and add desired sauces on top. Serve while hot, and ENJOY!
Directions for Fluffy Corn Dogs:
