Street Food Snacking: Korean Hot Dogs Recipe

When wandering the streets of South Korea, you will never be too far from a delicious dish. Street food is a huge part of the culinary world in South Korea, offering a convenient way to enjoy the flavours of Korean cuisine in tasty bites.

One of the most popular forms of street food is serving tasty treats on a skewer - including hot dogs or corn dogs.

What are Korean Hot Dogs?

In Korea, hot dogs aren’t the same as the sausage in a bun dish that you would find in America. Instead, they are more similar to corn dogs.

Korean hot dogs are made from sausage and cheese that is wrapped in a dough, covered in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. They are then sprinkled with sugar.

There are plenty of variations on this recipe too. You can find Korean hot dogs filled with all sorts of cheese, rice cakes or potatoes. Mozzarella and cheddar cheeses are the most commonly used for these hot dogs. Another popular variation is including squid ink in the breadcrumbs to make a darker coloured hot dog!

You can find the ingredients you need for this recipe at our Korean supermarket online in the UK.
