Similar to Korean Corn Dog, Hottang Turns Out to be a Snack Born in Indonesia

Kapanlagi.com - Besides being frequently found in various dramas, Korean cuisine also often tempts the taste buds when it appears in several food content on YouTube and TikTok. One of the most common is street food, which comes in many varieties.

One of them is the Korean corn dog, also known as Kogo in Korea, which is a modification of hotdogs commonly found in the United States. Interestingly, this street food has also inspired culinary enthusiasts in Indonesia, giving birth to hottang.

Hottang Turns Out to be an Acronym in Indonesian

It is undeniable that Koreans' love for crispy sausages and french fries with cheese, sauce, and mayonnaise has also made Indonesians curious to try it. However, since it is still not possible to travel directly to Korea due to the pandemic, especially just to taste Kogo, the creation of hottang emerged.

Indeed, hottang is not taken from Hangul or the Korean language, but it is an acronym from Indonesian words. Hottang stands for hot dog kentang (potato). Besides hottang, there is also its 'companion', sotang, which stands for sosis kentang (sausage potato).

Served with Bamboo Skewers and Mozzarella Cheese

The distinctive feature of hottang and sotang is the use of bamboo skewers and mozzarella cheese. The sausages are skewered, dipped in a batter made from flour, cornstarch, eggs, and milk. After that, the sausages are coated with french fries cut into blocks until fully covered. Then, hottang is fried until golden brown and served with mayonnaise and chili sauce.

In Indonesia, the creation of hottang and sotang continues to develop. Not only is it wrapped with pieces of french fries, but it also uses corn and noodles. Similarly, with the seasoning, not only sambal sauce, mayonnaise, or cheese, but also can use chili powder, BBQ, or other combinations according to taste.

Although the way to make it is relatively easy, some people may be busy enough that they don't have time to make it themselves. However, there is no need to worry because hottang or sotang can be easily ordered from home through manisdansedap.com.
