Grilled Corn with Soy-Honey Glaze

By Tamipri

Corn grilled with soy sauce is a familiar sight at summer fairs and festivals in Japan. Returning the glazed ears of corn to the grill caramelizes the sugar in the sauce and gives the corn a deep, smoky flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 8 ears fresh corn, prepared according to the illustrations below

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1. Mix the honey and the soy sauce together in a 10-inch skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.

2. Grill the corn over a medium-hot fire, turning the ears every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the dark outlines of the kernels show through the husk and the husk is charred and beginning to peel away from the tip to expose some kernels, 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Transfer the corn to a platter. Carefully remove and discard the charred husks and silk. Using tongs, take each ear of corn and roll it in the soy mixture. Return the glazed corn to the grill for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Serve immediately.
