- NOTE: If you want the sauce to be thickened, just whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch into the water, which should be increased to 3/4 cup, before adding it to the corn.

Tips:
- Thaw corn properly: Before cooking, thaw frozen corn in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. This will help ensure even cooking and prevent the corn from becoming mushy.
- Use a large skillet: When cooking frozen corn in a skillet, use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding. This will allow the corn to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Add some oil or butter: Adding a little oil or butter to the skillet will help prevent the corn from sticking and will also add flavor.
- Cook over medium heat: Cook the corn over medium heat, stirring frequently. This will help prevent the corn from burning.
- Season to taste: Once the corn is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
- Serve immediately: Corn is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
