American Dog (アメリカンドッグ : Corn Dog)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

American dog aka corn dog is a popular convenience store item. This is a perfect snack for when you are a little bit hungry but don’t want to eat a full meal! It is deliciously slightly sweet and salty.

 

American dog recipe

 

A beloved convenience store snack is the American dog. It is funny, when I am in Japan or see the words of ‘American dog’ in Japanese, I don’t think it sounds weird. But when I type it, yes, it sounds weird.

 

What is American Dog (Corn Dog)

American dog is a popular snack in Japan. American dog is also known as a corn dog. Hot dogs or fish sausages(I’ve never seen it in the US) are skewered and covered in a batter made from flour or pancake mix, then deep fried.

American dog is also sometimes called a French dog, but mostly in Hokkaido in northern Japan. American dog is eaten with ketchup and mustard whereas some article says French dog is eaten with sugar in Hokkaido but I haven’t tried it myself.

 

Where does American Dog originally from

In fact, American dog was first named in Japan, but there are no other countries that call this dish American dog. However, similar foods are eaten all over the world. In the US, it is called a corn dog.

The corn dog was born in the 20th century and is a relatively new food. However, the origin and inventor have not been found, and the details are unknown.

 

What is the difference between American Dog and Corn Dog

A similar food as American dog exists in the United States, but it is called ‘corn dog’ as I mentioned.

American dog and corn dog look similar, but the texture is different. Unlike American dogs, corn dogs use corn flour as the main batter ingredient instead of regular flour.

 

Ingredients for making American Dog

Making American dog is super easy! These are ingredients you need for making delicious American dog!

  • egg
  • sugar
  • milk
  • cake flour
  • baking powder
  • hot dog

That’s all! In Japanese cooking recipes sometimes we use fish sausage that is eaten in Japan, but I have never seen it in the states so please use hot dogs!

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩
