Grandma's Corn Chowder

A favorite family recipe passed down from her lola, to her mom, and then to reader Rowena Lei. She enjoys preparing this delicious soup for her two kids.


Serves 6 to 8  Prep Time 15 minutes  Cooking Time 10 minutes

2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
8 ears uncooked Japanese corn, grated off the cobs

1/4 cup ground pork
1/2 cup shrimps
5 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
chopped spring onions for garnish

1  In a large saucepan, sauté garlic and onion in oil. Add ground pork and shrimp.

2  Stir in the grated corn. Mix well.

3  Pour in water and bring to a boil.

4  Season with salt and pepper.

5  Transfer to a bowl and serve. Garnish with chopped spring onions.

Corn cooking tips
• Always use uncooked sweet yellow corn
• Do not boil the corn before grating
• Omit the shrimp if you have family members who are allergic.
