Sweet Corn with Miso-Butter

Sweet Corn with Miso Butter

I wanted to get this summer recipe out before the end of the weekend and the unofficial end of summer. I’ve been visiting the St. Paul Farmer’s Market every weekend for the last few months, and I must say this year’s sweet corn has been outstanding. This recipe has been a family and I’ve been making this about once a week for the past month or so.

This is another one of the fail-proof recipes, just fully cook the corn and you’re ready to go. You can vary the amount of butter and miso to your preference.

This recipe a great choice for the grill as well.

Sweet Corn with Miso-Butter

Sweet Corn with Miso Butter Recipe
This recipe is the best way (in my opinion) to enjoy the fresh corn as a side dish in the Japanese meal preparation and goes well with fish, meat, and vegetables. First, the corn is steamed and shucked then tossed with miso/butter sauce.
It tastes sweet, nutty, salty, and creamy all at the same time! Make sure to use fresh corn when in the season with (preferably home-made) butter.

  • Place corn in a large bowl or on a cutting board, using a sharp knife to start shucking the corn from top to bottom. Remove all the corn kernels from the cob. Set it aside.
