Choose sugar and sauces
Many stalls ask whether you want sugar. Ketchup and mustard bottles usually sit on the counter for you to add.
Hold it by the stick
Keep the paper sleeve around the bottom. The batter is very hot right after frying.
Bite from the top down
Eat it while it is hot, before the batter softens.

Order it as 핫도그. It is sold by the stick, so one person can buy just one.
