Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Place the softened butter and white miso in a bowl and mash together with a fork until smooth and evenly combined.

  2. If the corn is not yet cooked, bring a pan of water to a boil, add the corn, and cook for about 5 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. Hold the hot corn on the cob and spread the white miso butter over it while the corn is still warm so the butter melts into the kernels.

  4. Serve the corn immediately, with any remaining miso butter on the side.
