Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, scallions, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1/2 cup water and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and vinegar. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro.
SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP
A good corn soup is creamy and naturally sweet; an even better corn soup is spicy, refreshing and addictive. In this recipe, it's the combination of shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles and coconut milk, rather than heavy cream or butter, that makes the soup at once cooling and rich. It's a dinner in a bowl (and a vegan one at that), but it would surely welcome a side of steamed rice or salad of leafy greens. To serve, add garnishes that are any combination of spicy (extra fresh chile or store-bought chile oil), crunchy (toasted coconut, chopped peanuts or cashews, fried shallots) or fresh (torn cilantro, chopped scallions), and it'll be even more dynamic.

Steps:
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
- In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
- Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
- Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN THIGHS WITH COCONUT CREAMED CORN
If it's possible to upstage crispy-skinned chicken thighs, the coconut creamed corn in this dish comes close. The sweetness of caramelized corn and coconut milk is balanced by the brightness of the ginger, chile, scallions and lime. As the corn simmers, the browned chicken thighs finish cooking right on top, so the flavors meld and deepen. It's a complete summery meal in one skillet, although you can make it anytime. Just use frozen corn. Garnish it with cilantro, chives, fried shallots or coconut flakes, and serve it with a green side. If you feel like it, you could use shrimp instead of chicken.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the thighs, skin-side down, and set over medium heat. (It's OK if they're slightly squeezed in the skillet; as the fat renders, they'll shrink.) Cook, undisturbed, until the skin is deep golden brown, and the thighs release easily from the pan, about 15 minutes. (If your stove is getting splattered with oil, cover the skillet.) Transfer the chicken, skin-side up, to a plate. Reserve the skillet and fat.
- Increase the heat to high, add the corn, scallion whites, ginger, garlic and serrano. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the corn starts to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding an extra minute or two if using frozen corn.
- Reduce heat to medium, add the coconut milk, scrape up any browned bits from the pan and season with salt and pepper. Put the chicken on top of the corn mixture, skin-side up. Simmer until the coconut milk is slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. (If your corn has reduced too much before your chicken is done cooking, just add a few tablespoons of water or chicken stock.)
- Serve with a squeeze of lime and reserved scallion greens on top.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook chile, ginger, garlic, and 2 sliced scallions, tossing, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add turmeric and cook, stirring frequently, just until darkened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add corn and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until corn is beginning to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add grains to skillet and cook, tossing often, until heated through and beginning to crisp around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add ½ cup coconut milk; season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, adding 1-2 Tbsp. water if needed to loosen, until flavors have come together, about 3 minutes.
- Divide corn mixture between plates or shallow bowls and drizzle with more coconut milk. Top with crispy onions and more scallion. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:
- Husk the corn and remove the silk. Stand each ear upright in a shallow bowl, and cut the kernels off with a sharp knife. With the back of the knife, scrape the cob down to press out the milk. Set aside.
- Rub the bottom of a saute pan with the oil, and place over medium heat. Add the cumin and onion, and saute until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn kernels with their milk, the ginger and the coconut milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Heat until simmering; add coriander, and mix well. Serve hot or warm.
COCONUT CREAMED CORN
From EatingWell: July/August 2008. Creamed corn goes tropical with coconut milk, cilantro and lime juice. We love this with the kick of crushed red pepper, but it's great without it if you don't enjoy spicy food. Try it with garlic-rubbed grilled flank steak and a vinegary Asian slaw.

Steps:
- Combine corn kernels, coconut milk and salt in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to maintain an active simmer.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the coconut milk has evaporated, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in cilantro, lime juice and crushed red pepper, if using.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen or canned corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before cooking.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the creamed corn a richer, creamier flavor. If you only have light coconut milk, you can add a tablespoon or two of butter or heavy cream to the recipe.
- Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will be mushy and bland. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add some heat: Ginger adds a nice spicy kick to this creamed corn. If you like things spicy, you can add more ginger or even a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Serve immediately: Creamed corn is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This coconut creamed corn with ginger is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and has a hint of spice. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give this coconut creamed corn with ginger a try. You won't be disappointed!
