Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels from the cob: lay each ear flat on its side and use a sharp chef's knife to slice off the kernels. Set aside. If using frozen corn, measure out 1 (10-ounce) bag and keep frozen until needed.
-
Step 2.
Preheat a wok over high heat until wisps of smoke rise from the surface. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the finely chopped green onions, then quickly stir for about 10 seconds until the onions are fragrant.
-
Step 3.
Add the corn (fresh or frozen) to the wok and stir-fry for about 1 minute. If using frozen corn, it will sizzle as ice crystals melt and release moisture.
-
Step 4.
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water, and continue to stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the corn has a light sear and is fully cooked through. Season with kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
