Prepare the corn and ingredients
After purchasing the corn, peel off the husk and silk, and wash it thoroughly with water. Use a knife to separate the corn kernels along the rows, rinse the corn silk again, and let it drain.
After purchasing the green onions, remove the roots and any wilted leaves, wash them clean, let them drain, and then chop them finely.
-
Steam the corn
Place a pot on the stove, add water and bring it to a boil, then place a steamer basket inside the pot.
Put the corn in the steamer, cover it, and steam for about 6 minutes over medium heat.
Once the corn is cooked, transfer it to a plate or bowl.
Tip: If the steamer has holes larger than the corn kernels, line the steamer with corn husks or a layer of parchment paper to prevent the kernels from falling through.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Corn
- When choosing corn for stir-frying, you can select American corn or glutinous corn; however, American corn will have a better color and the kernels are crunchier and sweeter.
- Choose corn with bright green husks, with silky tassels that are not wilted or dry, the kernels should be shiny yellow, uniform, and straight, with a moderately elongated shape.
- Pay attention to the stem of the corn, which should still be fresh; if it is not wilted, the kernels inside will be sweeter, and the outer husk will tightly hug the cob.
- Avoid corn with dry husks or dull white color, and very large ears, as such ears are usually too mature or old and wilted.
