Baby corn.

Baby corn are small, pale cobs picked while the kernels are still tiny and tender. They are mildly sweet, crisp even after cooking, and often eaten whole, which makes them an easy way to add crunch and a little sweetness to a plate.

Ways to use it

• Stir fry with garlic, mushrooms and oyster sauce.
• Halve lengthways and add to a clear soup or a mixed vegetable stew.
• Blanch and serve with a chilli dip.
• Cook in a stir fry with chicken, cashew nuts and dried chilli.
• Grill whole, with a little oil and salt, until lightly browned at the tips.

Storing it

Keep baby corn in a container in the fridge drawer, where it stays cold. Use it within a few days, while the cobs are still crisp. Rinse under running water just before cooking, and trim any dry ends then.
