Description

Want a showstopper side dish that delivers big on flavor and presentation? Boom. Korean Inspired Mexican Street Corn with Gochujang Aioli!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ears corn
  • Gochujang Aioli (recipe below)
  • 1 cup queso fresco or cotija cheese, finely crumbled
  • 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 limes, cut into wedges

for the Gochujang Aioli

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Carefully peel back husks from corn down to the base and remove all silk. Fold husks back into place and secure tops with kitchen twine. Place corn in a large bowl of salted cold water and let soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat grill to medium. Grill corn, turning occasionally, for 25 to 40 minutes, until corn is tender and charred in spots. It will be very fragrant, so try to resist the urge of devouring corn at this point.
  3. Remove corn from grill and peel back husks. You can remove the husks entirely at this point, although it makes for pretty legit presentation to keep them rolled back. Slather grilled ears of corn with a generous, even layer of gochujang aioli and coat with crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with chives and parsley, and serve with lime wedges. Encourage guests to use that lime and not just stare at it. Devour corn with intense ferocity.
