When we buy corn, we will find that the corn in the supermarket or market is fresh corn with skin. Many people take the skin home directly, but many people ask the boss to peel off the skin and stigma of corn first when they buy it. Actually, this is not right. After corn is peeled, the water evaporates easily, and the cooked taste will not be so fresh. When we cook corn, we should leave two layers of corn husk and corn stigma, because corn stigma can benefit water and eliminate edema, which is very helpful for edema. Boiled corn with skin has special flavor and high nutritional value.
Tip 2. Soak in cold water for a while.
Many people cook corn and throw it directly into the pot, which is a big mistake. After peeling the corn, soak it in cold water for 20 minutes first, so that the cooked corn is sweeter, which can also reduce the cooking time and make it easier to cook.
Tip 3. Salt and baking soda
Everyone has eaten the corn bought outside, which is sweet, soft and delicious. However, when we buy it and cook it ourselves, the cooked corn tastes very different. Many people think it's corn. Actually, it's not the corn. That is, when we cook, we put two things less and boil them directly in water at home. This is why the corn we cooked is not as delicious as the corn we bought outside. Generally, the corn cooked in the outside shop is salted and baking soda. Adding salt can lock the moisture in corn, so that the sweetness of corn will be stimulated by salt, and the cooked corn will be sweeter. Add a spoonful of baking soda, and the nutrients of corn are more easily absorbed by the human body.
Tip 4. Don't cook for too long.
Corn is easy to cook. Generally, it can be cooked in 10 minute, and old corn needs to be cooked for 5 minutes. 15 minute is enough. Be careful not to cook corn for too long. Cooking for a long time will get old and affect the taste. In addition, after the corn is cooked, take it out immediately, put it on a plate and drain it. You can't let it soak in water. Soak for a long time, the nutrition will be lost in the water, the taste will become weak, and the corn flavor will not be so rich.
