Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Corn Dog and a Korean Corn Dog?
In a word? Batter. American corn dogs are dipped in a cornmeal batter, while Korean Corn Dogs use a batter made with rice flour. The Korean version is also typically coated in breadcrumbs, or sometimes other crunchy toppings like potato cubes or rice puffs. Often, there is a sprinkling of sugar coating the outside as well, making them prime for sweet or savory toppings.
What are some other variations of Korean Corn Dogs?
While the American version of the corn dog sticks to the same formula, batter and hotdog, the Korean version has many different versions. The “traditional” version features half sausage or hotdog and half mozzarella cheese. You can also get a cheese-only version, often filled with mozzarella, cheddar or cream cheese. There are other variations that feature sweet potato, rice cakes and even ramen noodles. It’s clear the Korean Corn Dog is as imaginative as it is tasty!
