Grilled corn on the cob is one of my all-time favorite summer treats! This recipe is an Asian inspired twist on Mexican street corn! Grilled, sweet corn on the cob brushed with tangy togarashi-lime mayo!
You may have seen a little jar of togarashi on the table the last time you went to eat ramen; it’s a Japanese spice blend made up of chili pepper, black and white sesame seeds, ground ginger, ground orange peel, and nori. The exact ingredients can vary from between brands. I love it because it’s not crazy spicy and also has a slight kick of citrusy flavor from dried citrus peel.
