🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

• Fresh sweet corn🌽: 2-3 pieces (full, golden-yellow kernels are the best)

• Fresh herbs: a pinch (parsley, cilantro, or dried herbs are fine)

👩🏻🍳 Detailed cooking process

1. Processing corn

• Tear off the corn leaves and corn silk.
• You can leave some tender leaves, which will make it more juicy after cooking.

2. Boiled version

• Boil a large pot of water with a pinch of salt.
• Bring water to a boil, add corn and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and drain, ready to be greased with butter.

3. Steamed version

• Add water to the steamer and place the corn on the steaming rack.
• Steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes for a more concentrated sweetness.

4. BBQ version🔥

• Place the corn directly on the grill and roast it slowly over medium heat.
• Turn and brush with butter while grilling until it has a charred and smoky aroma.

5. Apply butter

• Place the cooked corn on a plate and spread butter on it with a knife.
• The butter slowly seeps into the corn kernels when heated, it smells so good!

6. Seasoning

• Sprinkle salt and crushed black pepper.
• You can add a few drops of lemon juice to refresh and relieve greasiness.
• Sprinkle chopped vanilla for decoration, which instantly enhances the appearance.

7. Finish serving

• Eat it while it's hot. It's so sweet and buttery when you bite into it. It's so satisfying! 🥰

🌟 Editor's Tips

• Fresh corn needs to be cooked quickly, otherwise the sweetness will be lost.
• If you want to make it more flavorful, you can use garlic butter (butter + garlic + salt + herbs). 🧄🧈
• Add chili powder 🌶️ or cheese powder 🧀 to the BBQ version and it will instantly become Mexican street style.
• If feeding it to children, you can cut it into thin pieces, which is convenient and safe.
