Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)*
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for brushing corn
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions, white part only (from about 3)
6 ears of corn, husked

Steps:

Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add fish sauce mixture and green onions and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Do ahead: Butter sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Preheat barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush corn with oil. Grill corn until tender and charred in spots, about 13 minutes. Brush corn generously with butter sauce and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
*Fish sauce is a versatile ingredient. Try it (1) mixed with garlic and cilantro as a marinade for grilled chicken; (2) in barbecue sauce for ribs; (3) in a salad of slivered green apples and chopped cilantro; and (4) in a compound butter with cayenne and shallots for grilled fish. It is available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Tips:

Choose fresh, sweet corn: Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels.
Soak the corncobs in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This will help prevent the kernels from drying out during grilling.
Grill the corncobs over medium-high heat, turning frequently: This will help the kernels cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Brush the corncobs with melted butter, olive oil, or your favorite marinade: This will help add flavor and prevent the kernels from sticking to the grill grates.
Season the corncobs with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices: This will help enhance the natural flavor of the corn.
Serve the corncobs hot off the grill, with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and crumbled cheese.
