Do not discard the corn silk—it adds a rich aroma; trim only the dirty parts with scissors.
Rinse the corn with the inner husk remaining and separate corn silk lightly under water to remove impurities. Squeeze out excess moisture from the corn silk.
In a bowl, mix 200ml of water with 3 tablespoons of new sugar and 1 tablespoon of salt until fully dissolved to make the syrup.
Arrange the prepared corn neatly in the inner pot of the rice cooker.
Add more water until the corn is just barely covered. Insert the corn silk between the corn kernels, then evenly pour the prepared syrup over the top.
Place the inner pot into the rice cooker, select the universal steaming function, and set the time to 40 minutes.
Prepare corn by leaving one layer of inner husk and corn silk, then rinse lightly.
Measure water, new sugar, and salt to prepare the syrup in advance.
Place corn, corn silk, and water into the rice cooker, sprinkle with syrup, and steam for 40 minutes using the universal steaming function.
Cooking tips 💡
Older corn that has been harvested for some time tends to become sticky on the outside when sugar is added—using new sugar ensures even sweetness throughout the kernels.
Leaving the last layer of inner husk helps retain heat and moisture, keeping the corn moist even after cooking is complete.
Corn silk acts as a natural seasoning, enhancing the corn’s rich aroma—wash it well and include it for best results.
