Addictive Corn Snack: Melt-in-Your-Mouth ‘Mayak Corn’
Kid-Friendly ‘Mayak Corn’ Recipe: A Delicious Corn Snack
As corn season is in full swing, here’s a delightful way to enjoy this sweet vegetable! ‘Mayak Corn,’ meaning ‘addictive corn,’ is a hit with both children and adults alike. This irresistible snack uses simple ingredients and can be easily made at home for a delightful treat.
Ingredients- 2 ears of corn
- 20g butter (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- Grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Dried parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the corn by steaming or boiling it until cooked. Cut the corn into 2-3 sections. (Pro Tip: Inserting the skewers *after* cooking the corn makes the process much easier and prevents the skewers from burning or the corn from breaking. While the photo shows skewers inserted, we recommend cooking first, then adding skewers at the end!)
Step 2
Spread about 0.5 Tbsp of mayonnaise evenly over the surface of each corn section. Think of this as a base seasoning step that adds moisture and subtle flavor.
Step 3
Ensure the mayonnaise is applied evenly all around the corn. This will help the sauce adhere well and absorb the flavors in the next steps.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the sugar and stir well until it combines with the butter, preparing to caramelize.
Step 5
Place the mayonnaise-coated corn into the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, turning the corn frequently, until it’s nicely golden brown and slightly caramelized. Be careful not to burn the butter and sugar mixture by keeping the heat moderate.
Step 6
Transfer the beautifully roasted corn to a plate. Generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory kick and add dried parsley flakes for a touch of color and freshness. (Essential Tip: Parsley flakes are optional, but Parmesan cheese is key for the signature savory and cheesy flavor of ‘Mayak Corn’! Skewers can be easily inserted into the corn even after cooking without resistance.)
