Corn cheese (콘치즈) is a quick, simple but also delicious side dish. It is quite often used in Korea as a side dish but is most popular as anju (안주). Anju is a general term used in Korea to describe food that is usually eaten with alcohol. If you want to impress your friends just whip up some corn cheese, grab a bottle of soju (소주) and socialize Korean style!

The tinned sweetcorn we get here in the UK is generally quite sweet already and so if you decide to use tinned sweetcorn for this recipe you can leave out the sugar. If, however, you decide to use corn straight from the cob then leave the sugar in.
