Korean Cheese Corn
Description
This recipe combines fresh shucked corn with Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, sugar, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful mixture. Half of the shredded mozzarella cheese is stirred into the corn blend before spreading it evenly in a greased cast iron skillet. The remaining cheese tops the mixture before baking at 400°F until bubbly. A brief broil develops a golden, slightly crisp cheese crust.
The final dish features warm, tender corn coated in a creamy, mildly spicy sauce with melted cheese binding the textures together. The green onion garnish adds a fresh bite contrast. This dish works well as a comforting side or appetizer and showcases a popular Korean-inspired flavor combination.
