How to Cook Corn in Coconut Milk?
- The first step is shucking the corn, removing the husk and silk to reveal those beautiful kernels.
2.Once shucked, we can move on to the next stage: cutting the kernels off the cob. This can be done by placing the cob upright on a cutting board and carefully slicing downwards. Now that we have our corn kernels, it's time to simmer them in the creamy coconut milk.
3. We'll bring the coconut milk to a gentle boil and then add the corn kernels, allowing them to cook and absorb all the flavors.
The simmering process allows the corn to soften and release its natural sweetness, while also infusing it with the rich creaminess of the coconut milk. As the aroma fills the kitchen, you'll know that something truly delicious is about to be created. So let's grab our pots and pans and get ready to simmer our way to corny perfection!
