Yeo Kyung-ok's Basi Corn

A Chinese-style authentic dessert featuring crispy fried sweet corn batter with a burst of sweetness and a sugar thread that stretches like silk.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never use whole corn in the dough—this weakens adhesion and causes the dumplings to break or burst during frying. Always mash about half the kernels to release starch.
  • Adding a pinch of baking powder helps create air pockets during frying, resulting in a light, slightly puffed texture with a crisp exterior and soft interior.
  • For an intense crunch, dip the finished papsokusuu briefly into cold water just before eating—this instantly hardens the hot sugar coating, delivering a texture similar to tanghulu.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to treat their children to a special, delicious meal using leftover canned corn at home.
  • Anyone eager to experience the irresistible charm of a Chinese-style candy with a crisp exterior, moist interior, and rich nutty flavor.
