Ingredients
  

  • 3 pieces hot dog sausages cut in half
  • 6 pieces mozzarella look for the “cooking” type that are low moisture and sold in blocks. Alternatively you can try with some string cheese as well
  • 150 g flour
  • 100 ml milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Panko flakes
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Skewer half a sausage and half a piece of mozzarella cheese
  • Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together
  • Add milk and egg then mix until you get a smooth batter
  • Dip the skewers into the batter then roll them into panko flakes (TIP: Pour the batter into a glass so that it's easier to dip the skewers into the batter)
  • In a pan, pour some frying oil - heat it up until it becomes bubbly (~180 degrees C)
  • Deep fry the corn dog for a few minutes until the exterior becomes golden
  • Serve with some ketchup and mustard

Notes

Try to keep the cheese dry and cold so that it doesn’t leak when you deep fry!
Heat the oil until it’s bubbly ~180 degrees C
Apparently you should also roll these in sugar after frying them like the authentic Korean street food version, bit too sweet for me but do give it a try!
