Jiangxi Grilled Corn

Jiangxi Grilled Corn is a delightful fusion of sweet corn and aromatic spices, capturing the essence of Chinese barbecue culture. This gluten-free dish is perfect for outdoor grilling or indoor broiling, offering a smoky flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the corn.

Ingredients

• Fresh corn on the cob - 2 ears
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Chopped fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili powder, lime juice, and salt to create a marinade.
3. Husk the corn and remove all silk; you can break the cobs in half if they are too large for your grill.
4. Brush the marinade generously over the corn, ensuring it is well coated.
5. Place the corn on the grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
6. Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
