Print Recipe

Crispy corn ribs coated in a savory miso-butter glaze, seasoned with spicy togarashi, and served with a tangy lime crema. A quick, flavorful side perfect for summer cookouts and casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked and sliced lengthwise into quarters (16 ribs)
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (salted butter optional for richer flavor)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus extra lime wedges for serving
  • 1 teaspoon togarashi spice blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn and remove silks thoroughly. Cut each ear lengthwise into four equal ribs (16 pieces total).
  2. In a small bowl, combine miso paste, melted butter, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. Adjust lime or salt as needed. Chill until ready to serve.
  4. Preheat a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
  5. Place corn ribs flat-side down in the hot pan in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy with charred edges.
  6. Brush the miso-butter glaze generously on both sides of each rib while still hot to caramelize slightly.
  7. Sprinkle togarashi spice evenly over the glazed corn ribs and add salt to taste.
  8. Arrange corn ribs on a platter, drizzle with lime crema, garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium-high heat and preheat the pan fully to achieve crispy edges without steaming. Brush miso-butter glaze after cooking to avoid burning. Sprinkle togarashi last to keep spices vibrant. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter, coconut yogurt or cashew cream for mayo and sour cream. Grilling is an alternative cooking method for smoky flavor.
