Ingredients for Creamy Corn：
| Corn | 500g |
| Milk | 200ml |
| Cream | 10g |
| Butter | 15g |
| Salt | 3g |
Steps:
1.Prepare fresh corn by thoroughly cleaning them and removing any debris from the surface. Use a knife to cut the corn in half through the middle. This helps with better penetration of seasonings when cooking and makes it easier to enjoy.
2.Once the corn is prepared, place them in a pot of suitable size. Pour enough milk to fully submerge the corn kernels. Add a small piece of cream to the milk, which will provide an additional richness and creamy flavor to the corn. Then, add a pat of butter to the pot, enhancing the texture and taste of the corn. Sprinkle a pinch of salt to adjust the seasoning. To cook the corn and keep it moist, slowly drizzle some water into the pot from the edges. This ensures that the corn gets enough moisture and remains tender and juicy. Turn on the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Bring it to a boil and continue simmering for about 15 minutes or until the corn becomes soft and tender.
3.As the corn cooks, the milk and other seasonings will gradually be absorbed by the corn, creating a thick and creamy sauce. Once the sauce thickens and becomes fragrant with the creamy aroma, carefully remove the cooked corn from the pot. Gently lift the cooked corn out and place it on a plate, ensuring not to damage its shape and integrity. Now, you can start enjoying this delicious creamy corn! Taste its sweet and crispy texture along with the rich creamy flavor, savoring the perfect combination of corn and milk.
Tips:
1.Choose fresh and tender corn to ensure a crisp texture and sweeter taste.
2.Before handling the corn, remove the outer husks using the back of a knife or a dedicated corn peeler. Then, gently scrape off the silk fibers along the length of the corn using a knife. This will make the corn cleaner and neater.
