Prepare the corn
After purchasing the corn, you separate the kernels and rinse them briefly with water to clean.
Then, place a pot on the stove, add enough water to cover the pot and boil until the water is boiling, then drop the separated corn kernels in, and briefly boil for about 5 minutes until the corn is cooked.
To make the corn crunchier, after blanching, take the corn kernels out and immediately place them into a bowl of cold water. Finally, pour the corn into a strainer and let it drain.
-
Mixing the flour
Prepare a clean and dry bowl, then gradually add 200g of crispy flour, 200g of lion flour, and 100g of corn flour into the bowl and mix well.
Next, add corn to the bowl along with 1 tablespoon of coconut cream, using a spoon to mix thoroughly.
Continue to add the mixed flour into the bowl of corn, using chopsticks and a spoon to mix or cover the bowl with a plate, shaking it gently to coat the corn kernels evenly with the flour. Pour the corn into a dry basket, shaking lightly to remove any excess flour.
-
Frying the corn
Place a pan on the stove, add 100ml of cooking oil to the pan and heat over high heat until the oil is hot, testing with chopsticks to see if it bubbles slightly.
At this point, add the flour-coated corn from the previous step, frying for about 5 – 7 minutes on high heat until the corn is golden and crispy, then remove it using a sieve to drain the oil.
Tip:
- To prevent the flour coating from coming off the corn while frying, wait 1 minute after adding the corn to the pan before stirring!
- To ensure the corn becomes golden, crispy, and doesn’t absorb oil, making it greasy when eating, fry the corn over high heat.
-
Completion
When the fried corn has drained the oil and cooled down a bit, put the corn into a clean bowl, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and mix well. Thus, the dish of butter fried corn is complete!

How to choose delicious, firm corn
- To buy fresh, delicious, and firm corn, you should choose ears of corn with bright green husks, feel heavy in your hand, and have slightly round, plump tips.
- You can check if the corn is full of kernels by gently peeling back the tip.
Tips for making crispy and fragrant buttered corn
- When frying, you need to keep the oil level just enough to cover the corn for easy frying, without using too much oil.
- Divide the corn into multiple frying batches to save oil and make the fried corn taste better.
- The outer layer of batter on the corn kernels cooks very quickly, so you must monitor the heat and stir frequently to prevent the batter from burning.
Tips for successfully making spicy fried corn
- After making spicy corn, you can enjoy it immediately or store it in a dry, clean glass jar and keep it in the refrigerator.
- You should only consume the corn within 5 to 7 days afterwards; do not keep it too long to avoid affecting the flavor of the dish.
