Fresh ears of corn 2
Onion, large 1
Garlic cloves 5/6
Ginger 1 ts
Green chilies 5/6
Dry red Chilies 4
Bell peppers
Dark Soy Sauce 1 tablespoon
Tomato ketchup 1 tablespoon
White vinegar 1/2 tablespoon
Paprika 1 teaspoon
Black pepper
Salt
Vegetable oil 1 tablespoon
What You're Gonna Do:
Get your corn cleaned off its leaves at the vendor's, or be strong and butcher it from its stem with brute physical force like I did (super human strength alert!) Now, using a sharp knife, slice the corn kernels off. Put in a pressure cooker with a pinch of salt, cover with an inch or two of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
Meanwhile, prep your veggies. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, cube the bell peppers, chop the chilies and set aside.
Drain your corn and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok.
Add the onion, followed by the garlic and the ginger. Saute until onions are translucent and the mixture fragrant. Add the bell peppers & both the green chilies as well as the dry red chilies. Fry for about 2/3 mins. Sprinkle some salt to avoid burning.
Add the corn and toss well. Turn the heat to low.
In a bowl, add the tomato ketchup, the soy sauce, the vinegar and mix well. Add this to the wok. Mix to quote well.
Add the paprika, followed by half of the black pepper. Add about 3/4 tablespoons of water. Let it bubble away. Check for seasoning and add salt as per taste.
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the rest of the crushed black pepper on top and serve hot.
