Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp orange juice, raw
  • 1 tsp coconut amino
  • 200 g young corn, cut

Instructions

  1. Place the young corn in a colander or strainer. Hold it under cold running water and rinse thoroughly for about 30 seconds. Shake the colander to remove excess water and set the corn aside.
  2. Take a small bowl and measure 1 tablespoon of orange juice into it. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut amino to the same bowl. Using a spoon or small whisk, mix these two ingredients together until they're fully combined. The mixture should have a uniform color.
  3. Place a non-stick frying pan or skillet on the stove over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat up for about 1 minute. You can test if it's hot enough by holding your hand about 10 cm above the surface – you should feel the heat radiating up.
  4. Add the rinsed young corn to the hot pan. Carefully pour the orange juice and coconut amino mixture over the corn. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula to coat all pieces of corn evenly with the liquid.
  5. Cook the corn for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. The liquid will gradually reduce and form a light glaze on the corn. The corn is done when it's tender (you can test by piercing a piece with a fork – it should slide in easily) and has a slightly glossy appearance from the glaze.
  6. Turn off the heat. Transfer the glazed corn to a serving dish and serve warm.
