Corn is an ingredient used to cook many delicious dishes such as stir-fries, deep-fried dishes, hot pots, stews, soups… that are all delicious and tempting. Because it’s not always possible to go to the market, many people have to buy corn and store it for later use. To store corn, some people boil it before freezing, while others freeze fresh corn directly and then thaw and process it later. However, these two methods result in completely different flavors of corn.
According to chefs, the most suitable method is to put corn in water and boil it until cooked, then put it in the refrigerator for freezing. This way, when you cook the corn again, the flavor will be not much different from fresh corn.
However, if you put raw corn in the refrigerator for freezing, then thaw and cook it, the kernels will shrink and not be plump, the flavor will also be less fresh, and there may be a slight strange smell.
Here are the detailed steps to store corn:
Peel the outer husk of the corn, leaving the inner layer.
Rinse the corn, put it in a pot, add water and boil.
When the water boils, boil for another 10 minutes and then remove the corn and let it cool completely.
Prepare a ziplock bag, then put the corn in the bag and place it in the freezer. Note that it is best to divide the corn into small bags for convenient use.
When we want to eat, we take out the corn, no need to thaw, and cook directly. If you want to boil it again, simply boil it for 10 minutes. With this storage method, the corn retains its fresh and delicious flavor.
