Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using real salted butter instead of artificial margarine creates a non-greasy, sophisticated, and deep flavor.
  • While sweet corn is ideal, canned corn is a perfectly delicious substitute if sweet corn is hard to find.
  • If you want to add a soy sauce flavor, try topping it with a fried egg cooked sunny-side up, breaking the yolk, and drizzling a little soy sauce to mix and eat together.
  • The basic seasoning is mild and not overpowering, so it pairs wonderfully with refreshing side dishes like pickled cucumbers (oi-ji) or pickled radishes (danmuji).

Recommended for

  • Those who want a simple yet flavorful one-bowl meal to solve their solo dining needs without side dishes.
  • Those who love the harmonious blend of sweet, popping corn and savory, salty butter.
  • Those who want to try a simple yet refined pot-cooked rice with Chef Choi Kang-rok's unique gourmet tips.
