2 servings

2 ears of corn, husked

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin

½ serrano chile or jalapeño, thinly sliced

1 ½” piece fresh ginger, peeled, sliced into matchsticks

How to prepare:

Cut kernels from corn; set aside. In a large nonstick , heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

Increase the temperature to medium-high and stir in the saved corn. Cook, stirring periodically, for approximately 3 minutes, or until the corn begins to lightly brown. Add grains and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, or until heated through and the edges are beginning to crisp. Add a half cup of coconut milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and boil, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water , until the flavors have merged, approximately 3 minutes.

Spread corn mixture on a platter. Drizzle with additional coconut milk and garnish with crispy onions and scallions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the dish.
