Summer is a good time to lose weight. We can replace the two staple foods, rice and flour, with corn, which makes us feel full and can be eaten simply by boiling water, which is much easier than cooking. But can you really cook corn? When cooking corn, you can only cook it with white water. If you do these three things well, the corn will be sweeter and more delicious! Since I learned this method, I found it is better than boiled water.
I've always done this before. I scraped the corn very clean, and I felt a little neat when I saw a corn stigma. Then I rinsed it in water, put it directly in the pot, and added a pot of water to start cooking. I didn't feel anything wrong with the cooked corn, but after eating the corn cooked with a little skill, I found that the original cooked corn was also exquisite, which made it sweeter, so I shared the method with you. Follow it and compare it.
Remove the husk of the corn, but not all of it, leaving two or three layers, and don't remove the corn stigma in the husk. In fact, it is difficult to remove the corn stigma from raw corn, and when it is cooked, it will be taken away gently, so there is no need to be so serious, and the corn husk and corn stigma can retain the fragrance and nutrition of the corn.
Then rinse the corn. If the head is dirty, you can cut it off with a knife, then put it into the pot, add enough water, sprinkle a little salt, and soak it for 20 minutes to make the corncob absorb water and become more tender.
When the soaking time is up, sprinkle a little edible alkali, cover the lid, boil over high fire, and then simmer for 20 minutes. After the soaking time is up, you can take out the corn, remove the skin and stigma of the corn, and insert a chopstick into the corncob to prevent it from getting hot. It feels particularly sweet and delicious to eat it. It is suggested that the cooked corn should be eaten as hot as possible, and it should not be completely cooled, otherwise the taste will be affected. If it is not eaten in time, it can be temporarily soaked in the cooked water.
If you want to make corn sweeter and more delicious, you need to keep in mind these three points:
The first point: when buying corn, choose the kind with the skin, which makes it easier to judge the freshness of corn. Moreover, the skin can protect corn and reduce the loss of water and nutrients. In addition, the skin and corn stigma should be kept when cooking corn, which can prevent a large loss of nutrients and increase the fragrance of corn grains.
The second point: Don't cook the corn directly in the pot, remember to soak it in water for a period of time, so that both the corncob and the corn kernels can absorb water and increase the freshness of the corn. When the water is high, it will taste sweeter, and when soaking, sprinkle a little salt, which can enhance the taste of the corn and taste sweeter, but the amount of salt should not be too large, and it will become salty. Pay attention.
The third point: The corn can only be boiled with white water, but it is not enough. We should add two more ingredients, namely salt and edible alkali, which will make the corn more sweet and soft.
