In reply to the discussion: What is your go to fancy seasoning for corn on the cob? Other than butter. [View all]The Polack MSgt
(13,186 posts)I do grill a lot of it though and have had success with Tokyo street fair style
Shuck clean and break the ears in half
boil the ears for about 6-7 minutes (Half cooked)
Place over low coals for direct but not intense heat
Turn the cobs every 45 seconds to a minute using a basting brush coat with sauce with every turn
allow the sauce to caramelize and settle in between the kernels as you cook
The sauce:
Kikkoman's Soy sauce (1 Cup)
melted butter (half a stick)
Light Brown Sugar (2 Tablespoons)
Honey. (5 second squeeze from a standard bear dispenser
mix well and keep warm so the butter stays melted
We are all adults who can recognize cooked corn, so pull it when it's as done as you want.
My kids like it lightly grilled and my wife likes it almost crunchy
