Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid using regular sugar, as it may make the corn sticky; use new sugar or Sinhwadang for a clean, crisp sweetness.
  • Always boil the corn with the last layer of inner husk and corn silk to deeply infuse savory aroma and prevent drying out.
  • Flip the corn once during boiling—top to bottom and inside to outside—to ensure even seasoning and thorough cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to revive tough, flavorless corn bought from the supermarket.
  • People seeking a fail-proof recipe for savory, sweet, market-fresh-style corn.
