Sticky corn is a very nutritious and delicious food, in the cooking process, the cooking time is very important. Here's a discussion on how long sticky corn should be cooked for the best.
First of all, the cooking time of glutinous corn is related to the degree of glutinousness. If you want to maintain the glutinousness of the sticky corn, it is recommended to put the sticky corn into the pot to cook for 10-15 minutes after the water boils, then cover it and cook for about 20-30 minutes. This will ensure that the sticky corn will not be cooked for too long, resulting in a reduction of the glutinousness.
Secondly, the degree of cooking of sticky corn varies from person to person. Some people prefer to cook it slightly more glutinous, while others prefer to cook it softer. If you prefer to cook it slightly harder, it is recommended to cover it and cook it for 15 minutes. If you prefer a slightly softer cooking, continue to cook covered for 5-10 minutes.
Lastly, it is best to soak the corn for a while before cooking the sticky corn. This will ensure that the sticky corn is easier to cook. Generally speaking, soaking the glutinous corn for 1-2 hours is sufficient.
In short, time is a very important factor when cooking sticky corn. If you want to keep the glutinousness, it is recommended to cook it for 10-15 minutes then cover and cook for 20-30 minutes; if you prefer to cook it slightly harder, you can cover and cook for 15 minutes; if you prefer to cook it slightly softer, you can cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Whichever method you choose, remember to soak the glutinous corn for some time first. This will cook the sticky corn better and bring out its delicious flavor.
