Description
Sweet corn kernels coated in a rich miso butter glaze with a touch of honey, soy sauce, black pepper, and fresh green onions. This quick and flavorful side dish is buttery, savory, slightly sweet, and ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it warm for about 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, white miso, soy sauce, honey, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the corn kernels to the warm skillet. If using frozen corn, cook for 2 to 3 minutes first so excess moisture can evaporate.
- Add the miso butter mixture to the skillet and stir well to coat the corn evenly.
- Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the corn is hot, glossy, and lightly caramelized in a few spots.
- Turn off the heat and stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving a little for garnish.
- Spoon into a serving bowl, top with the remaining green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
- Taste before adding extra salt, because the miso and soy sauce already add plenty of seasoning.
- Fresh summer corn gives the sweetest flavor, but frozen corn works very well too.
- For a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes at the end.
- A squeeze of lime just before serving adds a bright finish.
