Recipe

Peel off all but the last layer of the inner husk from the corn, then rinse the corn and corn silk gently with water, trimming only the dirty ends of the silk.
In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of new sugar (or Sinhwadang), half tablespoon of flower salt (or cheonilyeom), and 1 cup of water until fully dissolved.
Place the prepared corn at the bottom of a pot, then add water just enough to barely cover the corn.
Put the rinsed corn silk on one side of the pot, then evenly pour the prepared new sugar and salt solution over the corn.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and flip the corn, rearranging it to ensure even cooking—top to bottom and inside to outside. If the water level is too low, add 2–3 more cups of water.
Replace the lid and continue boiling over high heat for another 10 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Do not open the lid immediately; let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the corn to become rich and moist.

Prepare the corn by leaving one layer of inner husk and the corn silk, and make the new sugar and salt solution.
Add the corn, corn silk, water, and new sugar-salt solution to the pot, cover, and boil over high heat for 20 minutes.
Flip the corn, boil for another 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it steam for 5 minutes.

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.
