Walking in the community the night before yesterday, I met my neighbor's grandmother and said that my corn was not delicious. Grandma said that most people wash it directly with water, which is certainly not delicious. Corn can not only supplement nutrition, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, but also lose weight, clear liver, improve eyesight, reduce blood fat and blood pressure, clear heat and benefit lung, enhance memory and resist aging. The easiest way to make corn nutritious is to cook it. However, although boiling corn looks simple, there is a trick to make it sweeter and softer. Cooking corn with clear water is a "layman". Adding two flavors, the corn is all soft, waxy and sweet, which is really useful! Below, the cook will share with you the practices and skills of cooking corn. Fresh corn, salt, baking soda, water.
Corn, don't remove the leaves outside, because the epidermis contains natural pigments, which will absorb water and make it brighter and softer. The beard of the corn is exposed. You should trim it, cut off some unclean, yellow and messy things, and then you must wash your beard. In a pot, pour cold water on the corn, then add salt and baking soda. Boil 15 minutes, turn it over a few times.
We usually eat two kinds of corn, one is sweet corn and the other is waxy corn. As the name implies, sweet corn tastes sweet, with less starch content, relatively more juice and sweet taste; Waxy corn tastes a little waxy, not so juicy, and not as sweet as sweet corn. The taste is soft and waxy. Knowing the difference between the two, we should choose according to our own preferences. Soak the bought corn in clear water for 5 minutes, the purpose of soaking is to make it fully wet. The purpose of this is that the corn is easy to cook and the cooked corn is sweet and juicy.
