Ingredients

  • 1 cup (220g) Kewpie mayo
  • ½ tsp (0.5g) ancho powder
  • ½ tsp (0.5g) chipotle powder
  • Pinch MSG
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp(14g) lemon juice
  • 4-6 corn on the cob, split in half
  • 1 cup (130g) freshly grated cotija cheese
  • Togarashi, to garnish
  • Hot sauce, to garnish
  • Cilantro leaves, to garnish

Directions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the mayo, ancho and chipotle powder, MSG, lemon juice and salt to taste until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and boil for about 3 minutes or until the corn turns a bright yellow and the kernels are tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn over medium heat until charred all over and the kernels are tender.
  3. Brush each piece of corn generously with your spicy mayo and coat them with cotija cheese. Sprinkle over top togarashi and add to a serving plate. Drizzle the tops with hot sauce and garnish with cilantro leaves.
