Tips and Tricks
Serving and Storage Instructions
There’s nothing like fresh hot corn on the cob boiled in coconut milk. Unless, of course, you roast it.😉 I hate to admit it, but at times I just make a huge pot of corn, and that’s all I eat. I know you understand. Honestly, I’ve never had leftovers. However, if you do, you can wrap them nice and tight with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. Alternatively, you can take a sharp knife and, cutting away from yourself, cut off all the corn and store it in an airtight ziplock bag. It should last 4-5 days in the fridge.
What to Serve with Boiled Corn
Boiled corn makes a fantastic side to just about any meaty main dish. I love to serve it with Southern fried chicken – always a classic – or salmon burgers. 😋 I’ve also paired it with steak tips and garlic mashed potatoes. Corn on the cob boiled in coconut milk is so flavorful that I sometimes have it for a guilt-free afternoon snack. Yum!
