Rinse 3 cups of rice thoroughly and drain completely in a sieve.
In a pot or rice cooker, add the rinsed rice and 800ml of water.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to subtly enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients and mix well to season the rice.
Drain the canned corn and spread the kernels evenly over the rice, then cook the rice.
Once the rice is cooked, immediately open the lid after it has steamed to maximize the hot butter aroma.
Place the 30g of salted butter whole on top of the freshly cooked hot rice.
Gently mix the rice and corn with a spatula to allow the butter to melt and release its savory aroma.
Once the rice is evenly coated with butter, serve the finished Corn Butter Rice in a bowl.

Add water, salt, and corn kernels to rinsed rice and cook to achieve a subtle seasoning.
When the rice is cooked, add 30g of salted butter whole on top while it's hot.
Gently mix the rice and ingredients with a spatula until the butter is smoothly melted, then serve in a bowl.

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).
