Korean Cheese Corn: Sweet, Gooey, Street-Food Magic in a Bowl
Imagine buttery sweet corn kernels swimming in a molten mozzarella blanket, kissed with a whisper of mayo and a sprinkle of sugar. That’s Korean Cheese Corn—the addictive side dish stealing hearts from Seoul street carts to American TikTok feeds. It’s creamy, stretchy, and just a little sweet-savory—perfect for game nights, KBBQ sides, or ‘I need comfort now’ cravings.
The secret to that gooey pull? Fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth cheese shreds that hug every kernel. A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater delivers perfect mozzarella ribbons—no clumps, no hassle.
🧀Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)
3 cups sweet corn kernels (canned, drained or frozen, thawed)
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese (block, not pre-shredded)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp sugar (adjust to taste)
Pinch of salt
Optional: chopped green onions, furikake, or chili flakes
🔥Step-by-Step: Cheese Corn in 4 Moves
1. Prep the Corn Base
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add corn, mayo, sugar, and salt. Stir until warmed through and glossy—kernels should glisten.
2. Shred the Cheese
Lock your hand crank cheese grater with suction base. Use the coarse blade to crank mozzarella into light, fluffy ribbons. Set aside.
3. Melt into Gooey Bliss
Lower heat. Scatter shredded mozzarella over the corn. Let it melt slowly—no stirring yet—until it forms a stretchy blanket. Gently fold once for that signature pull.
4. Finish & Serve Hot
Sprinkle green onions or furikake. Scoop into bowls while the cheese is lava-hot and stringy. Pair with rice, KBBQ, or eat straight with a spoon.
🌶️Tips & Twists
Spicy Kick – Dust with gochugaru or chili flakes.
Extra Creamy – Stir in a splash of heavy cream before cheese.
Protein Boost – Mix in diced ham or bacon bits.
Make-Ahead – Shred cheese with Geedel up to 1 day ahead; store chilled.
Low-Carb – Swap half the corn for cauliflower florets.
