Cooking tips 💡
- If you only have regular grain-style canned corn, blend it with a little water using a blender or hand-held mixer until smooth.
- For extra richness, if time allows, add chopped store-bought crab meat, enoki mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms while cooking for a more luxurious and hearty dish.
- Just before turning off the heat, drizzle in about half a teaspoon of sesame oil for a deeper, nutty aroma.
