Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger to produce about 2 tablespoons.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Add the grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender but retains a slight bite.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the corn.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish to complement grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hearty salads.
