Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Korean Corn Cheese, a popular Korean side dish or snack that’s creamy, cheesy, and slightly sweet. It’s often served at Korean BBQ restaurants, but you can make it at home with just a few ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups corn kernels (canned, fresh, or frozen)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Corn:
- If using canned corn, drain it. If using frozen corn, thaw it and pat it dry. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a bowl, combine the corn, mayonnaise, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the corn evenly.
3. Cook the Corn:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the corn mixture to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.
4. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella (and parmesan, if using) evenly over the top of the corn.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Optional Broiling:
- If you prefer a crispy, golden cheese topping, transfer the corn cheese to an oven-safe dish and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with finely chopped green onions.
- Serve hot, as a side dish or snack.
Enjoy with:
- Korean BBQ, grilled meats, or as a side with a Korean meal.
- It’s also great with tortilla chips for dipping!
