Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the glutinous rice flour batter. In a large bowl, combine 2 paper cups of glutinous rice flour with 1/4 paper cup of water. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and free of lumps. If the batter is too thick, gradually add a little more water until it reaches a consistency slightly thicker than pancake batter.
Step 2
Score the mini Vienna sausages. Make 2-3 shallow cuts along the length of each sausage; this helps them cook evenly and look appealing. Then, thread 2 sausages onto each wooden skewer.
Step 3
Coat the sausages with the batter. Dip the skewered sausages into the prepared glutinous rice flour batter. Use chopsticks or the skewer to ensure the batter evenly coats each sausage. Make sure the batter is not too thin, or it won’t adhere properly.
Step 4
Prepare the breadcrumbs. Spread 2 paper cups of breadcrumbs evenly on a wide plate or tray. Fluffing the breadcrumbs will help achieve a beautiful golden-brown color when fried.
Step 5
Coat with breadcrumbs. Gently roll the battered sausages in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully and evenly coated. Press the breadcrumbs lightly onto the sausages; this will help create a crispier texture when fried.
Step 6
Fry until golden brown. Heat 2 paper cups of cooking oil (canola oil is recommended) in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Carefully place the breaded sausage skewers into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy. Turning them frequently ensures consistent color.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy! Once fried to perfection, remove the mini hot dogs from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Arrange them on a plate. Drizzle with mustard sauce to your liking. Your deliciously crispy and chewy mini hot dogs are ready to be enjoyed!
