Sautéed Corn with Miso, Butter and Scallions
For this umami-filled, savory-sweet side dish, plump, tender kernels cut from ears of fresh sweet corn are the first choice, but out of season an equal amount of frozen corn kernels that have been thawed and patted dry will work; they’ll just take a few minutes longer to brown. The optional furikake garnish adds even more layers of savory-sweet flavor (furikake is a Japanese condiment often sprinkled onto rice). Alternatively, add a little heat plus notes of sesame and citrus by sprinkling on some shichimi togarashi, or Japanese seven-spice blend.

Tip
Don’t skip the step of whisking together the miso and sake. If added directly to the corn, the lumps of miso will be difficult to smooth out. Don’t use a conventional (i.e., not nonstick) skillet because the miso has a tendency to stick.

01In a small bowl, whisk together the sake and miso until no lumps remain. Set aside. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium, melt the butter. Add the corn and scallion whites, then cook, stirring often, until the corn begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Delish!
I made this for the first time tonight, and it was delicious. So easy to prepare and only about ten minutes total on the stovetop. I used frozen corn, so that helped with the prep time. I substituted distilled white vinegar for the sake, adding about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to cut the acidity. I did not add furikake at the end. I’ll definitely make it again.

It’s a winner!
I made this last night and it was terrific. My husband had had a big lunch and didn’t want any supper; then he took a taste, and then he dished up a big bowl for himself. I didn’t have any sale so I subbed Shaoxing. Definitely saving this recipe.

Delicious
Will definitely make this again. Had to make it with frozen corn, can't wait to try it with fresh 'in season' corn.

Superb!
This recipe blew my mind. So delicious and super easy. I used frozen corn because I rarely have fresh corn on hand, but it didn't matter to me. Just what most of us are looking for in a good side dish: a veggie with punch!
