For Street Corn

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon Dashi

    In a saucepan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Add water and dashi powder to the pan, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes and then strain to remove solids.

  2. 2

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Lime Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy lime aioli.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Street Corn

    Once the corn is grilled, brush it with the bacon dashi, then drizzle the lime aioli over the corn. Sprinkle generously with crumbled cotija cheese and tajin seasoning. Finish with chopped fresh cilantro on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the street corn warm, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
