What is the best way to cook corn on the cob?
There are so many ways to cook corn on the cob, its just a matter of personal preference.
I think the two tastiest ways are boiled with milk and butter and grilled.
I currently do not own a grill, so I cook my corn on the cob the next best way: pan roasted.
How do you make pan roasted corn?
Pan roasted corn is easy to make, and gives you the charred, smokey taste without using a grill!
I use a cast-iron pan, but I’m sure any pan will do.
Heat your pan over medium-high heat and put 1-2 tablespoons of oil in it. Don’t use butter, because it will end up burning.
Place the corn in the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes, until brown. Then rotate the corn and do the same thing on each side.
This Teriyaki Glazed Corn Is:
- great on corn cooked any way
- easy to make
- a delicious twist to a classic side dish
- sweet, salty, umami
- can be made vegan
How do you make Teriyaki Glazed Corn?
Ingredients:
Step 1: Put the soy sauce, mirin and sugar in a small pot and bring it to a simmer.
Step 2: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced to about half. Stir occasionally. You will know the sauce is done cooking when you run a spoon through it and it leaves a streak, as pictured below.
Step 3: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter.
Step 4: Brush the glaze onto cooked corn on the cob and serve immediately. Enjoy!
What is Mirin?
Mirin is a staple ingredient in Japanese sauces. It’s a sweet rice wine, mixed with other ingredients and sweeteners.
It adds a sweet, umami taste to your sauce or dish. When it’s cooked down, it gets thick and “sticky” making it a perfect ingredient for a glaze.
Mirin is essential to this glaze recipe and cannot be substituted. It can be found in the Asian isle of your local grocery store, at your local Asian store, or here online.
