A quick how-to guide
To make corn ribs:
- Start by cutting a corn in half then quarter each half, you'll have 8 pieces of corn ribs for each corn.
- Pick out a few corn kernel rows at one end (3-5 rows) to make space so you can hold on to corn ribs after the cooking process.
- Fill a large pan with 2 cups of vegetable oil and heat on medium-high heat.
- Fry corn ribs, few sticks at a time. Don't overcrowd the pan.
- You know the corn is done when it starts to curl toward the 'rib' direction.
To make tasty garlic butter sauce:
- Start by melting the butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent them from burning or scorching.
- Add chopped parsley and spice mixture. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove immediately.
To serve:
- Brush garlic butter sauce or use a spoon to pour the sauce all over corn ribs.
- It is important to eat these deep-fried corn ribs as soon as you brush/put the garlic butter mixture on them. Or the corn will soak up all the amazing sauce and become soggy.
- You can sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning on the finished corn ribs if desired.
