Corn Rice Recipe: A Delicious Seasonal Recipe
Hey everyone! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you one of my favorite dishes – Corn Rice. It’s a delightful and easy recipe that brings out the natural sweetness of summer corn, creating a unique and flavorful dish. Inspired by Seonkyoung Longest and her Asian at home recipes, this authentic Korean recipe is perfect for anyone looking to add a delicious twist to their homemade Korean food repertoire.
Introduction to Corn Rice
Corn Rice is a simple yet incredibly satisfying dish that combines the sweetness of fresh corn with the hearty goodness of rice. It’s one of those quick and easy recipes that you can whip up in no time, making it perfect for busy days. Plus, the added butter and soy sauce elevate the dish to a whole new level. Whether you’re a fan of Korean food or just looking for a new rice recipe, THIS is sure to become a favorite.
Ingredients and Preparation
You’ll need:
- 2 ears of corn on the cob
- 1 cup white short or medium-grain rice
- Butter
- Soy sauce
Instructions:
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear, then soak it for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Peel the corn, wash it, and carefully cut the kernels off the cob with a knife.
In a pot, combine the soaked rice, corn kernels, scraped corn cobs, and 1 cup (the same amount as the rice) of cold water.
Tips:
- Scrape the cob with the knife to extract all the remaining sweetness. This will add extra flavor to your Corn Rice.
- As the rice cooks, the corn cobs will continue to release their sweetness, making the dish even more delicious.
I’m using Le Creuset 3.5 qt Pot (Color: Shallot)
Cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. After turning off the heat, let it sit for another 10 minutes to finish cooking. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together.
Remove the corn cobs, mix everything well, and while it’s still hot, add butter and soy sauce to serve. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips!!
- Use fresh corn: Fresh summer corn will give you the best flavor. Look for ears that are bright yellow and firm.
