Ingredients

  • ½ tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ stick of butter
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • Cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 4 corn cobs

Method

1. Prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce:

  1. In a small pot, combine the water, rice vinegar, red chili flakes, chili garlic sauce, sugar, honey, butter, and garlic.
  2. Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the flavors are well combined.

2. Thicken the Sauce:

  1. In a separate small bowl, mix some cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry.
  2. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot with the sauce while stirring continuously.
  3. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

3. Marinate and Grill the Corn:

  1. Place the corn cobs in a large ziplock bag and pour most of the sweet chili sauce inside, reserving a small amount for later use.
  2. Close the bag tightly and gently massage the corn to ensure it is coated evenly with the sauce. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the marinated corn cobs on the grill and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly charred.
  5. While grilling, brush the remaining sweet chili sauce over the corn for extra flavor and glaze.

4. Serve:

  1. Once the corn is grilled to perfection, remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
  2. Optionally, you can brush any remaining sauce over the corn for an extra burst of flavor.
  3. Serve as a tasty and flavorful side dish to accompany your meal.
