Miso butter corn
Report
Recipe video above. Simple yet ridiculously delicious corn side dish. Just a dollop of miso adds great savoury flavour! Adapted from the David Chang's famous Momofuku Roasted Summer Corn recipe! (Found his a little salty so I dialled back a bit).It doesn't taste Japanese or Asian at all, you can barely taste the miso, so it's a great side for Asian and Western mains. But my favourite way to eat this is in bowls with a fried egg and avocado, or stuffed into corn tortillas. YES!

Ingredients
Miso butter:
- 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter , softened
- 1 1/2 tbsp white miso (shiro miso) (Note 1)
Corn:
- 200g / 7oz streaky bacon , chopped into 1cm / 1/2" pieces
- 3 cups corn kernels , preferably freshly cut off 3 - 4 corn cobs else frozen thawed (Note 2)
- 2 garlic cloves , finely minced
- 2 tbsp cooking sake , optional (sub mirin or dry sherry, Note 3)
- 1/8 tsp white pepper (sub black pepper)
- 1 cup green onion , cut into 0.5cm/0.2" slices
Instructions
- Miso butter - Mix butter and miso together in a small bowl until combined.
- Golden bacon - Put bacon in an unheated large non stick pan, no oil. Turn the stove onto medium high heat - as it heats up, the fat will start to melt so the bacon cooks in its own fat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden, then use a slotted spoon to transfer onto a paper towel lined plate. Reserve bacon fat in the pan.
- Cook corn - Top up with butter if you don’t have 1 tbsp fat left in pan. Still on medium high, add corn, then stir only every minute or so (this lets it get some nice golden spots), for about 5 minutes until corn is just cooked and is sweet. Add garlic, stir for another 30 seconds. Add sake, stir until evaporated (~15 seconds).
- Melt miso butter - Turn off stove. Add miso butter, stir until melted. Add pepper, bacon and green onion, toss until coated with sauce. Serve!
- Serve as a side dish. In a corn taco with a fried egg and avocado (OMG SO GOOD).
Notes
- Miso - There are all sorts of miso varieties, find one labelled "white miso" or "shiro miso" ("shiro" means "white" in Japanese). Red miso is also fine but use a little less - about 1 heaped tablespoon (miso flavour is a little more intense).
- Corn - Fresh cut is best because it's dry so sautés better. Frozen thawed works too, expect to cook a little longer (needs time to thaw/dry/cook). Canned corn does work but because it's so wet, it just doesn't get little golden patches as well.
- Cooking sake - One of the 3 essential sauces in Japanese cooking, you can find it in the Asian section of grocery stores these days. Adds touch of extra savouriness into this dish. Alcohol cooks out because it evaporates. Sub with mirin or Chinese cooking wine, or water (we just want some liquid to deglaze the pan).
- Recipe credit - Adapted from David Chang's famous Roasted Summer Corn with Miso Butter. I found his recipe a little salty so I reduced the miso and skipped the chicken stock.
- Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days. It will freeze ok too!
