Chili Lime Grilled Corns - Elotes Asado (Maíz) con Chile y Limón

Many years ago while I was still in college, I had a part time job in Hollywood!  Okay, let me clarify, I am NOT in the film industry, can't you tell I’m way too shy for that?  I meant the office building where I worked was located in the city of Hollywood.  The path where I had to walk from the parking lot to the office building always have a couple of street vendors selling things.  One of the vendors was always selling the Mexican Chili Lime Sweet Corns!  Quite often, I couldn’t resist but to get one on my way to work.  It made a nice afternoon snacks!



Since I don’t work in the area anymore, I’ve got to make my own Chili Lime Sweet Corns whenever I crave for one!  With the warm weather in Southern California, I’ve started cooking on the grill a couple months ago!  So, why not cook the corns on the grill to add some smoky flavors, right?  The corns turn out awesome and better than I’ve ever remembered!




The sweet corns are in season right now!  I highly recommend that you give this recipe a try.  These Chili Lime Grilled Corns are sweet and juice, which balance well with the slightly charred and smoky flavor from the grilling.  It’s the perfect match with the tart and refreshing lime juice.  The chili powder is slightly spicy and adds a nice punch to the flavor. It’s all rounded out by the creamy Ricotta Salata cheese on top!  You can also use cotija cheese or Mexican crema as well.  Oh, I also smeared on some butter when the corns were still warm, totally love the nice and rich buttery taste on these delightful corns!

Cream Corn with Chicken Over Rice (忌廉粟米雞粒飯)

Are you all enjoying the lovely Fall weather?  I certainly hope so.  Somehow, Fall makes me craves for comfort food.  Maybe it’s the chilly and rainy weather?  Or, maybe it’s the fragrant in the air that makes me long for something familiar.  And my definition of comfort food are something that’s easy to prepare, something that I feel satisfied after eating, and something that brings back childhood memories.  And this, Cream Corn with Chicken Over Rice (忌廉粟米雞粒飯) falls into all these criteria!



This Cream Corn with Chicken Over Rice dish is a popular dish that I grew up eating, quite a lot!  Ask anyone who grew up in Hong Kong, they would know about this dish and probably have many different memories associating with it.  Not only it’s a popular dish to serve at home, it’s almost always on the menu of the Hong Kong Style cafes.  But since it’s super easy to make at home, why bother eating out, right?



If you haven’t try this dish, I highly recommend that you give this a try.  It’ll probably be your new favorite dish to make.  It’s perfect for weeknight dinner, especially when you only have 20 minutes to put dinner on the table! ha!  So, I always marinate the chicken the day before so that I’ll have it ready to go.  Also, I always double the recipe as it’s even better the next day…or just in case, the kiddos ask for seconds!
