🧂 Zutaten
- 3 cups Corn kernels(Fresh or frozen corn kernels. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry.)
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Dried shrimp(Rinse briefly and pat dry. If large, you can roughly chop them.)
- 4 stalks Scallions (green onions)(White and light green parts thinly sliced for sautéing, dark green parts thinly sliced for garnish.)
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar(Adjust to taste.)
- 1/4 tsp Salt(Optional, to taste, especially if corn is unsalted.)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the aromatics: Rinse the dried shrimp under cool water for a few seconds and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slice the scallions, separating the white and light green parts from the dark green tops. Set aside the dark green parts for garnish.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet or wok over medium heat (around 175°C / 350°F). Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the dried shrimp and the white/light green parts of the scallions. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the shrimp becomes fragrant and slightly crisped, and the scallions soften.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high (around 190°C / 375°F). Stir-fry the corn, tossing frequently, for 5-7 minutes. You are looking for the corn to become tender and develop some lightly browned, slightly charred edges, which adds a lovely depth of flavor.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 4
Stir in the sugar, and optional salt and pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and evenly coated the corn. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 5
Remove from heat. Stir in most of the reserved dark green scallion slices. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with the remaining fresh scallion greens. This dish is best enjoyed fresh as a delightful snack.
