CORN RIBS
CURLY FRIED CORN
SERVED SWEET N SPICY
OR MEXICAN STYLE
How do I cut them?
This is by far the hardest part of the recipe. Stand a corn cob upright on its flatter side. You’ll want to carefully and with a very sharp knife ‘rock’ the blade through a corn bone from the top. This can take a little practice to get right. Repeat to get 4 ribs per bone.
How do I cook them?
By baking in an oven after slathering them in oil. Bake the ribs for 15-20 minutes at 180°C (350°F). I use this method for my sweet n spicy corn ribs as the sauce goes on for the last few minutes in the oven so that it clings to the corn.
By deep frying them in hot oil that’s at least 170°C. You’ll need to fry them for about 3 to 5 minutes until they’re curled up and darkening. This method will give you maximum curl (and I think, flavour). It’s great served with a rich dipping sauce or dressed like elote.
By air frying them after slathering them in oil. Cook in an air fryer preheated to 180°C (350°F) for 10 or so minutes.
