This Korean Style Shrimp and Rice Corn Dog can become your new favorite! Korean Corn Dogs rule as the most popular street food in South Korea. They are now conquering streets in both Eastern and Western hemispheres. Okay, that’s probably too strong a claim! But they are delicious.
The classic Korean Corn Dog has stretchy Mozzarella Cheese and a high quality Hot Dog on a stick. They are covered in batter, bread crumbs, and deeply fried to perfection. Some vendors add cubes of Potatoes to make a Korean Potato Corn Dog or Fries Corn Dog.
For creativity and difference, I combine the Corn Dog with Rice and reduce it to an easy bite-sized eating delight . I vary the recipe in a special way, by using Shrimp instead of meat. Try my special Mini Korean Style Shrimp and Rice Corn Dog as a snack or appetizer to please your kids, friends, and family.
Korean Shrimp and Rice Corn Dog is perfect for your dinner party to surprise your guests. You can try different variations. Besides Shrimp, hot dog can work too.
WHY THE MINI SIZE?
This Rice Corn Dog can only be made into mini size if you are careful with the size of the ingredients. The rice will not cohere if it’s too big. Be stingy with the rice! This goes for the Vegetables as well. It is important to cut the Cucumber and Carrot in very small sizes and I recommend that you julienne them for the best results.

Assemble the Corn Dog (Shrimp)
- Remember to wear plastic gloves. Using a small amount of Rice, make a ball in your hand. Then flatten it.

Notes
- You absolutely need to wear disposable plastic gloves when you assemble the Corn Dog. Otherwise, the rice will not cooperate because it will stick to your hands and pull out of shape.
- But the small inconvenience of gloves pays off in a big way. After you’ve followed the suggestions, they will turn out perfectly and I hope it will become your new favorite snack food!
