Ingredients

For the Corn

  • 1 Corn Fresh / Corn on Cob
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 /2 tsp Salt

Glaze for the Corn

  • 3 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Mirin I substituted with Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • Shichimi Togarashi

Instructions

  • For the Glaze, mix all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook on a low flame until sugar melts. Remove from the stove and set aside.
  • For boiling the corn, clean the corn and pressure cook with a pinch of salt. Remove and cool for 5 to 7 mins.
  • Insert a skewer on the end and brush the corn on the cob with olive oil.
  • Grill till done. Then apply the soya sauce glaze over the corn, and continue grilling till the corn is completely done.
  • When serving, sprinkle a pinch salt and the spice mix.
  • The recipe calls for Shichimi togarashi, the Japanese Seven Spice mix
  • Shichimi togarashi is a Japanese 7-spice blend that typically includes red chilli flakes, dried orange peel, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, nori (seaweed) flakes, poppy seeds and ginger.
  • Since I have no idea where to get this, I simply checked if we could substitute Shichimi togarashi with something. So I ended up making a simple mix that called for per tsp to combine 3/4 tsp Red Chilli Powder + 1/4 teaspoon white or black sesame seeds.
