Also – Corn!

Yes, we request corn! 😂 Using maize caller chopped disconnected the cob is champion due to the fact that it’s adust truthful it sautés amended for beauteous aureate spots. Also, flavour (sweeter, better) and texture (firmer, not soggy).

Frozen corn is the adjacent champion alternate – usage it from frozen but expect to navigator longer (thaw>dry>cook) with canned bringing up the rear (it’s the wettest truthful it doesn’t sauté arsenic well).

But then, it’s conscionable astatine location with Asian mains similar Chinese Char Sui BBQ Pork, a large sheet of gyoza oregon Grilled Marinated Thai Chicken (Gai Yang).
