Corn – Nasi Lun Bawang By Zoee Wong
Blistered corn builds another roasted/toasty flavour component into this dish while lending small, fresh bites of natural sweetness. Wrapping the corn in a banana leaf after it’s been blistered allows the corn to cook a little more in a fragrant steam – I wanted the texture to be present and distinctive, but soft enough that it would be complementary to the porridge.
This is a part of the Nasi Lun Bawang dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 ea fresh corn
- Banana leaf, for wrapping
- Cocktail sticks/toothpicks, to secure the banana leaf
Method:
Warm the banana leaf over the grill to make it more malleable for wrapping. Set it aside. Blister corn.
Wrap the corn in the banana leaf while it is still warm. Allow it to steam in the residual heat for 15 minutes.
Unwrap and shuck the corn kernels off the cob, doing your best to ensure the kernels are whole.
