Miso Butter Corn is a recipe that proves easy will be wonderful! The magic of a dab of miso. 🙂 This sautéed corn is a aspect dish that goes with the whole lot, from rooster rissoles to gyoza. Or make a meal out of it with a fried egg, avocado and tortillas for stuffing.
Miso butter corn
The world has David Chang to thank for the miracle that’s sautéed corn with miso and butter. He wasn’t the primary to make it however he was definitely the one who made it well-known! The truth is, it was so wildly standard at his New York restaurant that he took it off the menu as a result of he turned referred to as the corn restaurant that occurred to serve noodles!
Miso, in case you’re new to it, is a soy bean paste that’s in all probability greatest referred to as the bottom for miso soup (right here’s my mum’s recipe). A ton of savoury flavour packed into one harmless trying tub (jar/packet). Nevertheless, as a result of it’s such a robust ingredient, it’s used for thus many different dishes, for each Japanese and Western dishes.
Right this moment’s miso corn is a good instance. A fusion Asian dish starring miso – err, sure, and corn!
Substances in Miso Butter Sautéed Corn
Right here’s what you’ll want to make this. Not many elements!
Miso butter and different elements
-
Miso – There are all kinds of miso varieties, discover one labelled “white miso” or “shiro miso” (“shiro” means “white” in Japanese). Purple miso can be wonderful however use rather less – about 1 heaped tablespoon (miso flavour is a bit more intense). (PS My mum has an ideal little abstract on various kinds of miso in her Miso Soup recipe).
-
Bacon – Streaky is one of the best as a result of we use the bacon fats to prepare dinner the corn. It’s what makes this dish so good!
-
Butter – Unsalted, this dish has sufficient salt from the bacon and miso. When you solely have salted, dial again the miso barely.
-
Garlic – As a result of I don’t prepare dinner corn with out it if butter can be current.
-
Cooking sake – One of many 3 important sauces in Japanese cooking, it’s a rice wine made for cooking that you will discover within the Asian part of grocery shops as of late. It’s used to deglaze the pan after cooking the corn (a cooking time period which implies to make use of a liquid to dissolve golden bits caught on the bottom of the pan to combine into the sauce) and it provides a contact of additional savouriness into this dish. The alcohol cooks out as a result of it evaporates.
Substitute with mirin or Chinese language cooking wine, or water (we simply need some liquid to deglaze the pan).
-
Inexperienced onion – For freshness. Reduce it slightly chunkier than the standard “finely sliced” that’s usually referred to as for in recipes. We wish an honest hit as a result of it’s the freshness right here.
-
White pepper – I exploit white as a result of it’s behavior in Japanese recipes. (Simply because this recipe has a contact of miso in it, my mind thinks I’m within the Japanese meals cooking sphere). However black pepper is ok too.
Additionally – Corn!
Sure, we want corn! 😂 Utilizing corn recent lower off the cob is greatest as a result of it’s dry so it sautés higher for pretty golden spots. Additionally, flavour (sweeter, higher) and texture (firmer, not soggy).
Frozen corn is the subsequent greatest various – use it from frozen however count on to prepare dinner longer (thaw>dry>prepare dinner) with canned citing the rear (it’s the wettest so it doesn’t sauté as nicely).
Right here’s how I lower the corn off the cob with out the kernels flying everywhere in the kitchen – giant bowl, prop the corn up on slightly dish, small knife.
How one can prepare dinner Miso Butter Corn
This recipe begins by sautéing bacon so the corn will be cooked within the bacon fats for further tastiness! Then the miso butter is simply stirred by on the finish till it melts by.
-
Reduce corn off the cob – As talked about above, prop the corn up on a small ramekin or comparable inside a big bowl. Stand upright and lower the kernels off utilizing a small knife. The bowl will catch the kernels so that they don’t fly throughout your kitchen! A bundt pan additionally works.
-
Miso butter – Combine the miso and softened butter till mixed.
-
Cook dinner bacon in its personal fats till golden. The fats within the bacon will soften because the pan heats up, so begin with a chilly pan. No further oil wanted – so long as you utilize streaky bacon!
-
Bacon fats – Take away the bacon utilizing a slotted spoon so you retain as a lot bacon fats within the pan as potential. Then add the corn.
-
Cook dinner the corn for 4 to five minutes till there’s mild golden spots, and the corn is nice and cooked by. (Recent corn is firmer than frozen and canned corn). To do that, simply stir each minute fairly than stirring continually. This offers the corn an opportunity to get the golden spots.
Add garlic in direction of the tip of the cooking time, else it’ll burn!
-
Deglaze – Add the cooking sake and stir till it evaporates. We solely use 2 tablespoons so it’ll evaporate rapidly, about 15 seconds or so. The aim of this step (referred to as deglazing) is to dissolve the golden bits on the bottom of the pan left from sautéing the corn into the combination. These golden bits are referred to as fond and it’s free flavour!
-
Miso butter – Flip off the range then stir to soften the miso butter by the corn. We don’t wish to sizzle the butter as a result of the miso caramelises fairly simply. We wish shiny silk buttery sauce by our corn!
-
Toss the bacon and inexperienced onion in, then serve!
Issues of serving
I really like how versatile this dish is.
It’s a corn aspect dish filled with a lot flavour that you’ll fortunately eat it by the spoonful. Who cares what the principle dish is, simply gimme all of the Miso Butter Corn!
As talked about earlier, regardless of the miso in it, this doesn’t style Japanese or Asian. It’s universally tasty and the flavour profile is such that I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it alongside a pile of Crispy Herb Roasted Hen with gravy or a Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mustard Sauce. However then, it’s simply at residence with Asian mains like Chinese language Char Sui BBQ Pork, an enormous plate of gyoza or Grilled Marinated Thai Hen (Gai Yang).
However my favorite is to show it right into a meal by including a fried egg, burst roast cherry tomatoes (10 minutes within the oven), avocado and tortillas for scooping/stuffing.
Breakfast, dinner, lunch, any day of the week.
Sure please!
However don’t fear about how I eat it. Inform me the way you’d serve this and what you’d serve it with! – Nagi x

Recipe Notes:
2. Corn – Recent lower is greatest as a result of it’s dry so sautés higher. Frozen thawed works too, count on to prepare dinner slightly longer (wants time to thaw/dry/prepare dinner). Canned corn does work however as a result of it’s so moist, it simply doesn’t get little golden patches as nicely.
