Grilled Corn with Scallion Oil (Bap Nuong Mo Hanh)

Grilled Corn with Scallion Oil (Bap Nuong Mo Hanh)

Grilled Corn with Scallion Oil (Bap Nuong Mo Hanh)

Sweet corn was on sale at my local grocery store for 12 for $4. That’s about $0.33 each! I couldn’t tell if I needed to get all 12 sweet corn for the deal or not. To be on the safe side, I started packing corn, after corn, into my bags. I left the store with 4 large bags of corn. That’s a whole lotta corn. What’s a quick and delicious recipe to use up a crap load of corn? Make Vietnamese grilled corn with scallion oil or Bap Nuong Mo Hanh.

The sweetness of the corn, paired with the savory flavor of scallion oil and the smokey flavor of the grill make for a perfect Summer or Labor Day dish.

In my recipe below, I boil the corn first. You can also steam them. Boiling and steaming the corn first prevent them from drying out on the grill. Once they’re cooked through, quickly toss them on a grill to get the smokey grill flavor. Once the corn is done charring on the grill (it only takes a minute or two since they’ve already been cooked), I slather it up with scallion oil with a brush and they are ready to serve. My philosophy is the more scallion oil, the better.

Grilled corn with scallion oil should be sold at all state fairs. Oh, how wonderful life would be.

Enjoy the recipe below.

Grilled Corn with Scallion Oil (Bap Nuong Mo Hanh)

Makes 6 corn on the cob

Ingredients

    Corn

  • 4 corns on the cob

    • Scallion/Green Onion Oil

  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions/green onions
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated white sugar

Instructions

  1. Pull back husks to remove silk, then pull husks back up. Soak in water for 30 minutes. This will prevent the husks from catching fire on the grill. Grill corn at 400 F for about 30 minutes. Rotate for even cooking.
  2. Make the scallion/green onion oil in the microwave or stovetop. Microwave method: combine sliced scallions, oil, salt and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 2 minutes. Stove top method: heat oil in a small saucepan on medium high. Add scallions, salt and sugar. Cook for 10 seconds then immediately turn off heat.
  3. Slather scallion oil with a brush over grilled corn and serve immediately.

The best strawberries are the ones you grow yourself. They taste incredibly sweeter than store-bought strawberries. The ones I grow are super tiny, but they are packed with great strawberry flavor. Every day during the summer, I harvest strawberries as soon as they ripen because I learned that if I don't get to them first, other critters will. Sometimes there are way too many strawberries to eat at once so I usually cook them down into a thick sauce and store it for future use in various desserts.
