Boiled corn, just using water is not enough. Add 2 things in advance to make it softer, waxier and sweeter.
Corn is a kind of coarse grain and a very popular staple food. Summer is here, and it is also the time when corn is on the market in large quantities. In this season, the prices are getting cheaper and cheaper now. A dozen days ago, the price of corn was 10 yuan for 4 pieces, but now it has dropped to 10 yuan for 7 pieces.
I always like to peel the corn I buy, and then use it to cook porridge. Add a little corn to the rice, and it will be fragrant. The taste is so tempting, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.
The leftover corn can also be cooked and eaten. Boiled corn is so common. It is not too satisfying to eat it when cooked. Our whole family loves it.
Boiling corn, to be honest, most people do it wrong. If you only use water to cook it, you are wrong. When boiling corn, it is absolutely impossible to use only clean water. You must add 2 more ingredients in advance before cooking to ensure that it will be cooked softer, waxier and sweeter.
[Boiled Corn]
Ingredients required: fresh corn, baking soda , salt, water
1. When buying corn, do not peel it, just buy it home with the skin. When you bought it yesterday, the vendor had to give it to you I peeled it off, and I quickly stopped him.
2. Corn with skin can play a protective role, and the moisture and sweetness can be well retained. After buying it home, remove the outermost layer of corn husks, but do not remove the last 1 or 2 layers. Do not throw away the corn silk inside. If it feels really dirty, you can wash it in water several times.
3. Prepare a pot of water. After adding the water, don’t rush to put the corn in it. Add 2 more seasonings. The first is salt and the second is baking soda. Just add a spoonful of each. Why put these two things? Salt can bring out the sweetness and make it sweeter. Baking soda can soften the fibrous tissue and make it softer and waxier.
4. After adding these two things, stir evenly, and then put the corn in. Don’t rush to turn on the heat after adding the corn. Let it soak in it for 5 minutes, and then you can turn on the heat and cook. To cook the corn, you can keep it on high heat until it is cooked.
5. After cooking, turn off the heat, then open the lid and quickly take out the corn. Do not let the corn stay in the water for too long, otherwise the taste of the corn will be easily diluted. Many people like to soak corn in water, let it sit and cool, and take it out when you want to eat it. This is actually wrong.
Tips:
When boiling corn, in addition to water, there are two very important ingredients that need to be added, one is salt and the other is baking soda. It can increase the sweetness of corn and make corn softer and waxier.
