Best Summer Corn Recipes for Grilled Corn Cobs, Corn Salads and Corn in a Cup

Our best summer corn recipes include everything from grilled corn on the cobs, grilled corn salads, and corn in a cup, a Mexican street food dish that has a cousin in Southeast Asia. As summer is corn season in many parts of the northern hemisphere, we’ve been cooking and eating late summer corn in everything from corn chowder to corn salsa. Our best corn recipes below and we’ll be adding to this collection.

Cambodia has had a bumper corn harvest this year, so there’s been a bounty of locally-grown sweet yellow corn at the markets and supermarkets. I have to confess that I love corn season almost as much as I love mango season, so, with corn cobs in the fridge I’ll sharing more corn recipes, which I’ll add to this compilation of our best summer corn recipes.

Best Summer Corn Recipes for Grilled Corn Cobs, Corn Salads and Corn in a Cup

Our best summer corn recipes include everything from grilled corn on the cobs, grilled corn salads, and corn in a cup, a Mexican street food dish that has a cousin in Southeast Asia.

Mexican Corn Salsa Recipe for a Corn Pico de Gallo

This easy Mexican corn salsa recipe make a kind of corn pico de gallo – diced cucumbers, tomatoes, shallots, jalapeƱos, corn, and coriander, combined with a zingy dressing of vinegar, lime juice and olive oil.

It’s a fantastic topping for Mexican tacos or tostadas or a delicious dip or side to a Tex-Mex burrito or chilli con carne, and it’s another of our best summer corn recipes.

Our recipe came about rather serendipitously. Terence was refining his fantastic grilled chicken tacos recipe and we couldn’t decide whether to make a corn salsa or pico de gallo to go with the tacos, so we thought: why not combine them?!

This Mexican corn salsa recipe makes a delicious combination of the two and it’s so good! It’s also super easy to make, coming together in 15 minutes, plus it’s versatile. You could add diced avocado or pineapple or kidney beans, red capsicum or whatever you like.

>Creamy Corn Chowder Recipe with Potatoes, Parmesan and Croutons

Our corn chowder recipe makes a creamy potato corn chowder with Parmigiano Reggiano, scallions and croutons and it’s one of our best summer corn recipes. The chowder is ever so lightly spiced with a little curry powder, turmeric and paprika to add warmth. A rind of Parmigiano Reggiano melts in the chowder adding a kick of umami, while crunchy homemade croutons add texture.

I’m happy to slurp a bowl of in summer or winter, a deliciously dense creamy corn soup, traditionally thickened with milk or cream, although I prefer potato, imbued with spices and herbs, and in the USA sprinkled or served with crackers or biscuits in the early days, although I opt for crunchy homemade croutons instead.

My corn chowder recipe is both dairy-free and vegetarian, which means I’ve skipped another key ingredient of old fashioned corn chowders, and that’s pork, which in modern day chowders generally takes the form of crispy fried strips of bacon sprinkled on top. You can certainly add bacon if you wish.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime Butter and Lemongrass Mayonnaise Recipe

This grilled corn with lime butter and lemongrass mayonnaise recipe is my favourite grilled corn on the cob recipe and one of our best summer corn recipes. It’s a fusion dish of sorts, inspired by a few favourites of Cambodian food and Mexican street food.

Inspirations include the popular street food snack in Cambodia of grilled corn on the cob slathered with mayonnaise, lime juice and chilli flakes; the more traditional Cambodian grilled corn, poat dot, which is brushed with a sauce of coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, and spring onions; and the Mexican grilled corn street food dish, below.

We like to char-grill our corn on the cob on our griddle pan on the stove, over a traditional clay brazier, as most Cambodians do at home and on the streets (we use these coconut charcoal BBQ briquettes, which we love), or on our stovetop Korean BBQ grill pan. But you could also use an outdoor barbecue or grill.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime Butter and Lemongrass Mayonnaise Recipe

Grilled Corn Salad Recipe With Lime, Chilli, Lemongrass Mayo and Sourdough Croutons

This grilled corn salad recipe with lime, chilli, lemongrass mayonnaise, and sourdough croutons uses up grilled corn on the cob leftovers from your weekend barbecues and those hard sourdough bread ends you didn’t finish.

It’s a fantastic salad for spring picnics and summer barbecues and can also serve as a meal on its own. My grilled corn salad recipe with lime, chilli, lemongrass mayonnaise, and sourdough croutons and crumbs was conceived to use up some grilled corn on the cob leftovers, along with some lemongrass mayo. I was also getting homesick and nostalgic for the corn salads of family barbecues in Sydney in the 1970s.

Terence also happened to have a crunchy end of near-stale sourdough bread as, avid sourdough baker that he is, he’s pulling homemade sourdough boules out of the oven every few days (if you’re new to sourdough baking, see his easy sourdough beginner’s guide).

Naturally, I asked him to make some sourdough croutons and crunchy toasted sourdough crumbs, which gave this fragrant grilled corn salad fantastic texture.

Mexican Grilled Corn Recipe – How to Make Mexico’s Street Food Corn Called Elotes

This Mexican grilled corn recipe makes Mexico’s corn on the cob street food snack called elotes. It’s another of our best summer corn recipes. Super easy, it makes use of summer corn and is fantastic on its own or can be served as a barbecue side.

We became addicted to this in Mexico on our first trip to the country way back in 1993 and we ate it everywhere every chance we got, from Mexico City to Oaxaca, whether it was served either on the cob or in a cup.

When we returned home to Australia after a couple of months travelling around Mexico and the USA (where we had eloped and got married in the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas), we began making this Mexican grilled corn recipe – and hosting Mexican themed dinner parties and sunset margaritas on weekend evenings on our Potts Point balcony.

We were infatuated with Mexico. And there’s nothing like recreating the food and drinks of a place you travelled to and loved when you return home to transport you back to that destination – and that’s what we did with the food and drink of Mexico in our Sydney apartment all those years ago.

Mexican Grilled Corn Recipe – How to Make Mexico’s Street Food Corn Called Elotes

Mexican Grilled Corn Salad Recipe for a Taste of Mexico at Home

This Mexican grilled corn salad recipe can be made from scratch or can be assembled using any leftovers from the Mexican grilled corn on the cob street food snack recipe for elotes, above. It’s a terrific salad for corn lovers and is fantastic for summer barbecues and picnics.

I don’t know about you, but we can’t always get ancho chilli powder here in Cambodia, which is why we say ā€œand/orā€ dried chilli flakes. We have to use dried chilli flakes most of the time, which we adore anyway. I can sprinkle chilli flakes on everything, so that’s what we’re sprinkling on our corn cobs.

If you can’t get Mexico’s cotija cheese or Mexican crema (which we also can’t get here), use white cheese or crumbly feta cheese (or a combination of both) and sour cream, cream or creamy mayonnaise (or a combination of all!).

Mexican Grilled Corn Salad Recipe for a Taste of Mexico at Home

Mexican Street Corn in a Cup Recipe – How to Make Esquites or Elote en Vaso

Our Mexican street corn in a cup recipe for Mexico’s esquites or elote en vaso, which means ā€˜corn in a cup’, makes a Mexican street food snack or antojitos meaning ā€˜little cravings’, that we became addicted to on our first trip to Mexico many years ago.

Like most Mexican food, it’s absolutely delicious, and it’s undoubtedly another of our best summer corn recipes. It’s also super easy to make, especially if you have leftover corn on the cob. Esquites or elote en vaso consists of steaming hot corn kernels with Mexican crema, cotija cheese, lime juice, and ancho chilli powder that’s sold in a takeaway cup.

It comes with a spoon and you stir it all up and the first time you try it on the streets of Mexico City or Merida or Oaxaca, like a slap to the face – or a whack to a piƱata – you realise what’s been missing in your life. Our easy Mexican street corn in a cup recipe is quick to come together, too, particularly if you made our Mexican street corn on the cob recipe and have some corn cobs leftover.

Mexican Street Corn in a Cup Recipe – How to Make Esquites or Elote en Vaso

If you’re serving any of these grilled corn dishes from Mexico for a Mexican feast, you might also like our recipes for authentic guacamole, an easy red tomato salsa, tortilla soup, tacos al pastor, grilled corn salad, chili con carne, nachos, quesadillas, and classic margaritas and micheladas.

Thai Corn Salad Recipe for a Filling Summer Lunch or a Perfect Side for Thai Style Fried Chicken

Our easy Thai corn salad recipe makes a fantastic filling salad that is the perfect light summer lunch or an ideal side for dinner when paired with spicy Thai fried chicken.

Our recipe makes a simple tossed salad that’s based on a popular Bangkok som tam style salad that’s traditionally pounded in a mortar and pestle at a street food stall. While we do love a good som tam, for us this salad works best as a tossed salad.

Like all great salads, it requires fantastic fresh ingredients, so do try to get hold of fresh corn on the cob if you can. If you can’t – if corn is not in season in your neck of the woods – canned corn kernels would do the trick. Canned beans and tinned carrots will not.

Thai Corn Salad Recipe for a Filling Summer Lunch or a Perfect Side for Thai Style Fried Chicken

This Thai Corn Fritters Recipe for Tod Man Khao Pod is Made for Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

Our Thai corn fritters recipe makes tod man khao pod in Thai – crunchy, chewy corn fritters that we gently spice with a little chilli paste.

Eaten as a snack in Thailand and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries, you could serve these Thai corn fritters as finger food or as an appetiser. They’re fantastic dipped into Thai sweet chilli sauce.

If you made a batch of our homemade sweet chilli sauce, then you need to make these delightfully crunchy, chewy corn fritters, seasoned with a little chilli paste, which are perfect for dipping into that sweet chilli sauce. Bonus: these also happen to be vegan corn fritters.

Corn Fritter Breakfast Burger Recipe with Fried Egg and Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

This corn fritter breakfast burger recipe is easily another of our best summer corn recipes. After making a final version of my delicious Thai corn fritters, we had a few leftover fritters – ok, a lot of extra fritters! – we also had burger buns from recipe testing, and a fresh jar of homemade Thai sweet chilli sauce, and, so our corn fritter and fried egg breakfast burger was born.

This corn fritter breakfast burger recipe with fried egg and Thai sweet chilli sauce makes an incredibly delicious vegetarian breakfast burger that’s packed with flavour and crunch. With a Southeast Asian twist on the classic breakfast burger, it’s so good you won’t miss the burger patty and bacon, and the grease that comes with it, one bit.

If you made our Thai corn fritters recipe and you have a batch of our homemade Thai sweet chilli sauce in the fridge, then you’re all set to go.

Vietnamese Sweet Corn Pudding Recipe for Che Bap

This easy Vietnamese sweet corn pudding recipe makes che bap in the Hoi An style of Central Vietnam. Che bap is the Southern Vietnam sweet corn pudding, while che ngo is the Northern Vietnam sweet corn pudding.

This recipe makes the Central Vietnam sweet corn pudding called che bap or more correctly, chĆØ bįŗÆp. We lived in the ancient port town of Hoi An’s atmospheric historic centre before we moved to Cambodia’s Siem Reap and might have still been living there if it wasn’t for a ā€˜mistake’ made by our visa agent.

This recipe makes the chĆØ bįŗÆp that we used to eat as a late afternoon treat, perched on the lovely chĆØ seller’s tiny wooden stools on the sunny square by the Hoi An river. ChĆØ is a style of Vietnamese dessert that can be like a pudding, a porridge, even a soup.

Some chĆØ sellers offer a dozen or more sweets, while some, like our chĆØ bįŗÆp vendor in Hoi An, specialise in just a few. It’s another of our best summer corn recipes.

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ā€˜Angkor’.

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bĆŗn chįŗ£, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bĆŗn chįŗ£. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bĆŗn chįŗ£ recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bĆŗn chįŗ£ meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bĆŗn thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bĆŗn bò Nam Bį»™ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bį»™=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs.Ā 

XĆ­u mįŗ”i= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bĆŗn chįŗ£ patties. XĆ­u mįŗ”i remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bĆ”nh tįŗ±m xĆ­u mįŗ”i. BĆ”nh tįŗ±m=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bĆŗn chįŗ£ giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to ā€œpartnerā€ with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
