🌱Personal thoughts:
I like to use it for scrambled eggs, because it is the most convenient cooking method, and the second is to add various soups as ingredients~
In addition to corn, bamboo shoots also have corn silk.
When cooking corn next time, remember to keep the corn silk and use it to cook one more dish. It is not only nutritious, saves money, but also reduces waste. Isn’t it awesome~~ Also, vegetarians can try its variations 🤩
❗In addition, the corn husk can also be used. Tear off the outermost green husk, wash the inner green husk, put it in hot water and cook with some vegetables, and finally take out the green husk to enrich the taste of the soup base. ~I used corn husks to cook the soup base of lemongrass hot pot before, although I can't feel the taste 😂

The above, the cooking method is for your reference~ The leftover recipes in the next issue, please look forward to it ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶…⋆ฺ
