Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 120 ml Coconut milk
- 2 stalks Fresh scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silk from the corn cobs. Lightly brush the corn with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently until the kernels are evenly charred and tender.
While the corn is grilling, prepare the scallion coconut sauce. In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped scallions to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and softened.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully combined and aromatic.
Once the corn is grilled, transfer it to a serving plate. Generously brush or drizzle the scallion coconut sauce over the hot corn.
Serve the Poat Dot immediately, garnished with additional scallions if desired. Enjoy your Cambodian-inspired grilled corn!
