Fresh Corn Sauté With Coconut Corn Sauté With Coconut Milk And Sriracha

Kahakai is a Hawaiian word for Beach. Living in beautiful Hawaii, I like to spend time at the beach and in the kitchen. This blog is about cooking, eating and living (mostly healthy) in Paradise.

Fresh corn and coconut milk are a perfect pairing, especially when lime juice and chili pepper are added to the mix, as in this Coconut Creamed Corn from “Supermarket Vegan: 225 Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes for Real People in the Real World” by Donna Klein. Although the book calls for frozen corn, I used a few ears of fresh, local Kahuku corn which is very sweet and juicy. The result is lighter than a traditional creamed corn, with lots of flavor. It was the perfect side dish for a piece of fresh local fish, (in this case ono) cooked and topped with a little coconut butter (for extra coconut flavor) from Naked Cow Dairy on the North Shore of Oahu. Along with a simple salad of local lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, it was a delicious and easy dinner.

Combine the corn, coconut milk, white parts of the scallions, chili powder, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to between medium and medium-low and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until most of the coconut milk has evaporated, 12-15 minutes. Stir in the scallion greens, lime juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve warm.

Notes/Results: A great combination of sweet, tangy and spicy flavors–the corn doesn”t get thick and creamy, just juicy and flavorful–so it makes it a nice lighter dish for summer. I used the 1/4 tsp of chili and also added 1/4 tsp of a Cajun spice mix so it had a nice little kick to it. A simple but tasty side dish that I would make again with either fresh or frozen corn.
