CORN COB POPS

Steps:

• Insert pointed end of wooden kabob stick into cut end of each corn piece. Bring 8 cups water to a boil in large saucepan. Stand, stick-ends up; cook 8 min. (Water should only cover the corn, not the sticks.)

YAKITORI CORN POPS

Steps:

• Put the corn cobs in a microwaveable dish with about 1cm water. Cover with cling film, poke a couple of holes through and microwave for 10 mins on High (we used a 750 watt microwave) until tender. When cool enough to handle, trim the rounded ends and cut the rest into 3-5cm chunks. Mix 1 tbsp yakitori sauce with the oil and brush all over the corn.
• Heat a griddle pan or barbecue and sear the corn on all sides until starting to char. Lift into a bowl, add the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Add a stick to each - like a lollipop - then dip each corn pop into the sesame seeds to coat before eating.
