The Aha! Moment
You know those moments when you realize you’ve been doing something the hard way for too long? I had one of those recently when my husband and I were enjoying corn on the cob. He pulled out a steak knife and started slicing off the kernels. I was baffled at first—what was he doing? But then it hit me: cutting the kernels off prevents them from getting stuck in your teeth. Genius!
This simple yet effective technique not only makes for easy eating but also allows you to fully enjoy the delicious flavors of your corn dish without the hassle of dental debris. That’s just one of the many reasons I love this recipe.
The Ingredients
Before we dive into the grilling process, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need:
- Fresh corn on the cob (as many as you need)
- Asian-inspired sauce (think spicy, tangy flavors)
- Olive oil or butter
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or sesame seeds
Grilling Instructions
Prep the Corn: Start by shucking the corn and removing any silk. If you prefer the “no-teeth” method, slice off the kernels using a sharp knife. You can also grill them whole if you prefer that traditional experience.
Make the Sauce: Whip up a quick Asian-inspired sauce using soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, and a touch of honey. Adjust the ingredients to suit your spice level and taste preferences.
Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn (whole or sliced) with olive oil or butter, and generously coat with your sauce. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
Add Toppings: Once your corn is off the grill, drizzle it with more sauce and sprinkle on any desired toppings like chopped cilantro or sesame seeds. Serve it up with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick!
