Essential Ingredients- 1 ear of corn (canned or boiled, kernels separated)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vinegar (apple cider or white wine vinegar recommended)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- A pinch of salt (to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper (for flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain your canned corn thoroughly, or if using boiled corn, separate the kernels into a bowl. Finely dice the onion and bell pepper. It’s important to chop them small so they integrate well into the salad and are easy to eat. Add the diced vegetables to the bowl with the corn.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the delicious dressing. In a separate bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Chef Ryu Soo-young’s signature ratio is often around 3:1:2 for mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar. Add a pinch of salt to season and a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor. Whisk everything together with a fork or whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the sugar or vinegar slightly to suit your preference.
Step 3
Pour the prepared dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Gently fold and mix everything together using a spatula or spoon, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly and the corn kernels and vegetables are well distributed. Avoid overmixing. Finally, sprinkle a generous pinch of sesame seeds over the top for a nutty aroma and visual appeal. Your Chef Ryu Soo-young’s Corn Salad is now ready to enjoy! It’s simple to make, but the flavor is exceptionally satisfying.
