Cast Iron Skillet Miso Soy Sauce Honey Corn

Add-Ins and Substitutions

You can use frozen corn in place of fresh, but press the defrosted corn between two paper towels to release excess water. Try adding in a few pinches of dried herbs such as parsley, Mexican oregano, chili powder, or marjoram if you have them. This is not necessary as the sauce really can stand alone and is packed with flavor.

Good add-ins would be air-fried tofu or another protein of your choice turning this into a main dish.

Use leftovers in a taco, fried rice, or a noodle bowl.

Storing

Best if eaten within 2 days. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Corn is a healthy grain and a source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It may promote eye and digestive health. Corn consists primarily of insoluble fiber, which makes it a low-glycemic index food. This means that it is digested slowly and doesn’t cause an unhealthy spike in blood sugar. (refer to www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org – Speaking of Health Aug 5, 2021). It also contains many B vitamins, as well as essential minerals, including zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese. Corn is rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage and wards off diseases like cancer and heart disease. Yellow corn is a good source of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for eye health and help prevent lens damage that leads to cataracts. (trusted source).

Poblano peppers (Capsicum annuum) are a type of chili pepper native to Mexico that can add zing to your meals. These nightshade vegetables are typically dark green and resemble other varieties of peppers, but they tend to be larger than jalapeños and smaller than bell peppers. Fresh poblanos have a mild, slightly sweet flavor, although if they are left to ripen until they’re red, they taste much hotter. (trusted source).
