Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ears fresh corn, the cob
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sugar
shichimi togarashi, Japanese Seven Spice mix

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack in the center of the oven.
  • First prepare the Glaze. Mix all of ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Simmer and stir until sugar is melted. Remove from the stove and set aside.
  • Line a small baking sheet pan with aluminum foil (the glaze gets sticky). Place corn on the lined baking sheet and rub with olive oil and sea salt. Place baking sheet under the broiler for about 8 minutes (every broiler is different so you must keep an eye on it). Check to see if corn is slightly browning on a few kernels and turn to the other side. Continue to watch corn and roll making sure all sides are getting slightly golden brown, total time about 15-20 minutes. After corn turns slightly brown brush the top side of the corn with the glaze. After about two minutes roll corn to the other side and brush with more glaze. Continue to do this about three or four more times as you roll the corn every 1-2 minutes each time making sure the glaze is caramelized and the corn is completely covered in the glaze. Make sure the glaze doesn't burn.
  • Remove the corn from the oven, sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi (if using) and serve warm.

The grilled corn was a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I wasn't a fan of the mayonnaise in this recipe. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

The grilled corn was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I had some leftover from a cookout, and this was the perfect way to use it up.
