Boiled Corn

Method4 steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Corn

   处理玉米

   Peel the outer husks from the fresh corn, leaving some of the inner husks on, and place it in a pot large enough for corn.

   将新鲜玉米剥去外皮，剩部分内层玉米皮入锅

   • 💡 Keeping some of the inner husks enhances the corn's fragrance.保留部分内皮可以增加玉米的清香

   Add water to cover the corn by about half a finger's width, and add salt and sugar.

   加入淹过玉米约半节指头的水，并加入盐和糖

   ⏱40 sec

   • 💡 Salt brings out the corn's natural sweetness.盐能激发出玉米本身的甜味

   Cook

   烹煮

   After the water boils, reduce to low heat, cover, and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes.

   水煮开之后转至小火，加盖继续煮 15-20 分钟

   • 💡 Cooking the corn for a slightly longer time is fine; the texture will be softer and chewier.玉米煮的时间稍长也没关系，口感会更软糯
