SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest corn on the cob possible. Look for ears that have tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears that have brown or dried-out kernels.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to keep the kernels moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then add the corn and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.
- Drain the corn and let it cool slightly before seasoning. This will help the seasoning to adhere to the kernels.
- Be generous with the seasoning. The corn should be well-coated in butter, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the corn hot. Corn on the cob is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot.
Conclusion:
Spicy corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and gatherings. By following these tips, you can make sure that your corn on the cob is cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor.
