Steps:
- Mix the honey and the soy sauce together in a 10-inch skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Grill the corn over a medium-hot fire, turning the ears every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the dark outlines of the kernels show through the husk and the husk is charred and beginning to peel away from the tip to expose some kernels, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the corn to a platter. Carefully remove and discard the charred husks and silk. Using tongs, take each ear of corn and roll it in the soy mixture. Return the glazed corn to the grill for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CORN WITH SESAME-SOY BUTTER
Mark Twain advocated for boiling corn - preferably right in the corn field. But there's no better way to cook corn than by grilling. The high dry heat of the fire caramelizes the natural plant sugars, intensifying the corn's natural sweetness while adding a beguiling smoky flavor. The key is to brown the kernels on all sides. To form a convenient handle for eating the corn, fold the husk back below the stem end. In this version, the corn is seasoned with sesame, soy, mirin and butter.

Steps:
- Make the sesame soy butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and several grinds of pepper until well-blended. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in oil and drawn across the grate with tongs. Fold a 12-by-18-inch sheet of aluminum foil in thirds like a business letter to make a grill shield.
- Meanwhile, cut the tapered end off one ear of corn. Pull the husk back over the stem end as if peeling a banana to expose the kernels. Rotate the corn as you peel it and gather the husks together below the stem. Tightly tie the husks with butcher's string or a strip of corn husk to form a handle. Discard the silks. Repeat with the remaining corn. Breathe a sigh of relief: The hard part is over. Brush each ear of corn on all sides with some of the sesame-soy butter.
- Arrange the corn on the grate, sliding the folded aluminum foil grill shield under the husks to keep them from burning. Grill the corn, turning the ears so they roast evenly and basting the corn with some sesame-soy butter, until darkly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. (If you are using a gas grill, close the cover while grilling.)
- Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush one final time with any remaining sesame-soy butter. Sprinkle the corn on all sides with sesame seeds and chives.
HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN
This technique for grilling corn uses a side pan of honey butter to thoroughly drench the corn in flavor while keeping it hot and juicy until you're ready to eat. If you are feeling creative, change the ingredients of the liquid bath: Add a couple of tablespoons of Korean gochujang and a few minced garlic cloves to the base mixture, then finish the corn with toasted sesame seeds for a sweet-hot version. Add a half-cup of sake, two tablespoons of light miso paste and two tablespoons of soy sauce for a sake-miso glaze. Blend a couple of canned chipotle chiles with a few tablespoons of lime juice, add it to the bath and finish the corn with freshly minced cilantro or mint. To complete this recipe, you'll need a disposable aluminum 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or a similarly sized stovetop-safe vessel that you don't mind getting a bit dirty.

Steps:
- Combine the honey, butter, chile flakes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum tray.
- Adjust the burners on a gas grill or arrange the hot coals on a charcoal grill to build a fire that is hot on one side and medium-low on the other side. Place the aluminum tray on the cooler side. Cover and let heat for a few minutes, swirling the butter occasionally until it is all melted and the liquid simmers gently.
- Add the corn to the hot side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the corn to the aluminum tray and turn to coat in the liquid. Keep turning as the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also cook other foods over the hot side while the corn stays hot in the tray. Once glazed, you can continue to hold the corn in the pan for up to another 30 to 45 minutes, turning it occasionally and topping up with ¼ cup water as necessary to prevent the honey and butter from burning.)
- When ready to serve, coat a final time, sprinkle the corn with the minced parsley or chives and transfer to a serving platter.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Corn: Select fresh corn on the cob with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with dry or damaged husks.
- Preparing the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse the ears under cold water to remove any debris.
- Cooking the Corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. Drain the corn and let it cool slightly.
- Making the Soy Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Grilling the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with the soy glaze and grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the glaze is caramelized and the corn is slightly charred.
- Serving the Corn: Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Conclusion:
Soy-glazed corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and gatherings. With its sweet, savory, and slightly charred flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone.
