Korean Elotes
Korean Elotes
I’m a big fan of Mexican elotes. This version of elotes that I created is a fusion with some Korean ingredients. Instead of being brushed with plain mayo, I mixed in gochujang. After rolling the corn in cotija cheese, I sprinkled gochugaru pepper flakes. My Korean elotes pairs great with galbi short ribs and other grilled meats.
