Instructions
- Heat a small cast iron or pan on medium-high heat, then add the drained corn. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until any residual liquid has evaporated and corn has softened.
- Reduce heat to medium , then add Japanese mayo, brown sugar, & salt, then mix until combined well.
- Pour in shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a little for the top. Stir everything together, top with the remaining reserved mozzarella cheese, then cover with a lid. Allow cheese to melt for a minute or two, then garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy immediately while it’s still hot and gooey!

Notes
- Japanese Mayo: I highly recommend Japanese mayo for this recipe because it's creamier than American mayo and adds subtle sweet and tangy flavors. You can get it at local Asian or Japanese markets.
- Brown Sugar: A little goes a long way & I don't recommend skipping it! This helps accentuate the sweetness of the corn & contrast the saltiness of the cheese.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Grating your own cheese is the way to go, especially if you want gooey corn cheese with insane cheese pull!
