Vietnamese Street Corn

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn
  • 1/2 cup sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bunch scallions chopped
  • 2 cayenne peppers chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • lime for garnish

Instructions

  • Remove husks from corn ears, saving one thin layer.
  • Grill for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
  • To prepare the scallion relish, heat sesame oil and fry minced garlic until crispy. Add in chopped scallions and cayenne peppers and fry for 15-30 seconds. Scallions should be wilted, but still green and soft.
  • Spoon relish over corn and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

If you prefer more charred corn kernels, remove all husks.
Don't worry about removing the wispy, hair like pieces from the corn. They will burn on the grill and fall off on their own.
