Instructions

  • How to Make Vegetarian Korean Corn Dogs
  • 1: Prepare the Skewers
  • First, cut mozzarella cheese sticks in half. Then insert wooden skewers into the cheese pieces. However, make sure the skewer stays firmly inside the cheese.
  • 2: Prepare the Batter
  • Next, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Afterward, add milk and vegetable oil. Then whisk until the batter becomes smooth and thick.
  • Ideally, the batter should coat the cheese evenly.
  • 3: Prepare the Potato Layer
  • Meanwhile, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl. Then mix corn, peas, chilli flakes, Maggi masala, and chaat masala.
  • Next, coat each cheese stick with the potato mixture. Consequently, the corn dogs develop an extra crispy layer.
  • 4: Coat the Vegetarian Korean Corn Dogs
  • After preparing the potato layer, dip the skewered cheese sticks into the batter.
  • Immediately roll them in panko breadcrumbs or diced potatoes. Because of this coating, the recipe will develop a crunchy outer layer during frying.
  • 5: Fry the Corn Dogs
  • Heat oil in a deep pan to about 175°C (350°F).
  • Then carefully place the coated corn dogs in the hot oil. Fry them for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Finally, remove the corn dogs and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • 6: Add Toppings and Serve
  • While the vegetarian Korean corn dogs remain warm, roll them lightly in sugar if you prefer a sweet flavor.
  • Then drizzle sauces such as:
  • ketchup
  • mustard
  • mayonnaise
  • sweet chilli sauce
  • Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Best served immediately while hot and crispy. Roll in sugar for a sweet-savoury Korean street food experience.
