Our household is big on corn. Corn on the cob, corn salad, corn chowder, popcorn :-D…I especially love grilled corn on a stick. Whenever I pass by the street vendors selling them in Bali or Phuket, you will definitely see me walking away with at least one in my hand. My hubby recently sent me a link showing how to cook corn in 3 minutes and ever since, I’ve been making my own grilled corn at home! I just thought this is too good not to share. I’m sure some of you would have already seen this tip but for those who have not, enjoy!
Tip source: Instructables
Step 1: Put the raw corn into the microwave.
Step 2: Set on high and cook for 3 mins.
Step 3: Remove from microwave and let it cool for 5 mins.
Step 4: Gently peel off the husk and silk. They should come off easily.
Step 5: Eat immediately or keep it in the fridge until ready to use.
Oh, here’s how I like to eat my corn.
Turn on the gas stove. Using a pair of tongs to hold the corn, roast it over the flames for a minute or two.
Instead of the usually butter and salt combo, I like to dress my corn with mayonnaise, salt, chilli powder and lemon.
Take half a lemon squeeze it a little to release some of the juice. Dab a little of the salt and chili powder mixture. Rub it all over the corn. Be careful not to take on too much salt.
