Sautéing will keep the crispness and flavor of fresh vegetables intact. Sautéing is a technique very similar to Chinese stir-frying.
Fresh vegetables that lend themselves to sautéing include mushrooms, thinly slice carrots, zucchini, onions, green peppers, and corn kernels.
Sautéed Corn
Yield 1 serving
Ingredients
- Fresh corn kernels: 1 cup (237ml)
- To each cup of corn kernels add the proportion of the ingredients as given:
- ½ cup (118ml) cream
- ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper mix
Instructions
- Husk corn; drop whole ears into boiling water. Let come to a boil again and cook for 4-5 minutes. Cool immediately by submerging ears in cold water.
- When cold, cut kernels from the cob by splitting down the center of each row, then cutting and scraping from the cob. Measure cut-off kernels.
- To each cup of corn kernels add the proportion of other ingredients as given. Mix all well together, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until thick (takes a few minutes), stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking.
