Ingredients
- 5 ears of chewy sweet corn
- 1 liter of water
- 1 tablespoon New Sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, remove the corn silk. You can gently pull out the brown silk from the top of the corn, or trim it neatly with scissors. Don’t worry if a little silk remains inside; it’s fine to boil it along with the corn.
Step 2
Avoid peeling off all the husks. Leaving one or two layers of the outer husk on while boiling helps to seal in the corn’s moisture, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful corn. Fresh corn typically has a vibrant green husk, with plump and shiny kernels. This indicates high quality.
Step 3
While trimming the husks, firmly grasp the end of the corn and snap it off to finish the preparation. This makes the corn easier to handle.
Step 4
Rinse the prepared corn lightly under running water to clean it thoroughly. Your corn is now ready to be boiled to perfection.
Step 5
Pour 1 liter of water into a pot. For 5 ears of corn, this amount will submerge about two-thirds of the corn. Adjust the water quantity based on the amount of corn you are using. Add 1 tablespoon of New Sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the water and stir well to dissolve. You can adjust the amount of New Sugar to your preference; if you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add an additional half to one tablespoon.
Step 6
Place all the prepared corn into the seasoned water. Arrange them so they are submerged as much as possible.
Step 7
Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat for the first 20 minutes. This initial boiling period helps to heat the corn evenly.
Step 8
After 20 minutes, lift the lid and turn the corn over to ensure even seasoning. Then, cover the pot again and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to boil for another 20 minutes. Finally, turn off the heat and let the corn steam for about 5 minutes to finish. Your chewy sweet corn is now ready!
Step 9
Remove the boiled corn from the pot and spread it out on a rack to cool slightly. Allowing it to cool a bit enhances its chewy texture and delicious flavor. This New Sugar version rivals the taste of store-bought corn! Freshly harvested corn is naturally sweet, but if yours has been picked for a while or you simply desire a richer, more complex flavor, this New Sugar recipe is highly recommended. As a nutritious seasonal snack, corn is perfect for staying healthy during the hot summer months. Enjoy!
