Baek Jong-won's Method for Boiling Corn

Cooking tips 💡

• Boiling the corn with one layer of the inner husk left on prevents moisture from escaping, so the corn stays chewy and doesn't harden even after cooling.
• To achieve the unique, savory sweetness found in store-bought corn, using new sugar is best. Combining new sugar with regular sugar further enriches the flavor.
• Start timing the 30 minutes from when the water begins to boil vigorously over medium heat, not from when you first turn on the heat, to ensure the corn is cooked through.
• Leftover boiled corn can be cooled, kernels removed and portioned into a zip-top bag for freezing. These kernels can be added to rice when cooking to make corn rice.
