To Make Grilled Corn with Miso Butter:
This recipe is simple and only requires a few ingredients. You’ll need 4-6 ears of corn, vegan butter or unsalted butter, white miso paste and fresh cilantro. Start by preheating the grill or grill pan. While the grill is heating up, make the miso butter. Combine the butter and miso paste in a small bowl. Mush the butter and miso together using a fork, until it’s thoroughly combined. Lightly spray the grill with nonstick cooking spray. Grill the corn for 2-3 minutes per side, until char marks form on each side. Remove from the grill. Spread a layer of miso butter on the corn and top with freshly chopped cilantro.
I love the char flavor from the grill.
tips & tricks
You can use a grill or grill pan for this recipe. I use a grill pan since I live in an apartment and don’t have outdoor space for a grill. Sometimes the corn kernels will burst and make a popping noise. Stand away from the grill pan if you’re not turning the corn. Although I normally make this with vegan butter, I do think it will work nicely with regular butter. I would recommend using unsalted butter since miso paste is very salty. Additionally, make sure to taste your corn before adding extra salt.
The cilantro adds a nice pop of color and freshness.
