Grilled Teriyaki Corn On The Cob(China)
Juicy corn on the cob grilled or baked and brushed with savory teriyaki glaze, perfect for summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings, offering a sweet and umami flavor combo.
Ingredients
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze or Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze with honey pineapple ⓘ
Instructions
- Remove husk from each corn on the cob.
- Lay each ear of corn on a piece of foil large enough to wrap around it.
- Brush lightly with teriyaki baste and glaze.
- Wrap foil around corn and seal edges.
- Cook on a grill for 20-30 minutes or until corn is tender, turning frequently.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try marinating the corn in the teriyaki baste for at least 30 minutes before grilling. If you prefer a sweeter taste, the Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze with honey pineapple is an excellent choice. If you don’t have foil, grilling the corn directly on the grate can also work, though it may require more attention to avoid burning. You can also pair this dish with A Vegetarian's Delight for a full meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve grilled teriyaki corn on the cob as a delicious side at summer barbecues or picnics. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and seafood, or alongside a fresh salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it with Sesame Chinese Noodles or Steve's Favorite Salsa Stir-Fry. You can also sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover grilled corn can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the corn in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, or reheat on the grill for a few minutes until hot. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn for this recipe?
While fresh corn is recommended for the best flavor and texture, you can use frozen corn if necessary. Make sure to thaw and drain the corn before grilling, and adjust the cooking time as frozen corn may cook faster than fresh.
What grill temperature is best for cooking corn?
Grilling corn on medium heat is ideal. This allows the corn to cook evenly without burning. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down to a medium-hot temperature before adding the corn, ensuring a nice char and tender kernels.
Can I add other seasonings to the teriyaki baste?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize the flavor by adding spices such as garlic powder, ginger, or even a splash of lime juice to the teriyaki baste before brushing it on the corn. This can enhance the overall taste and give it a unique twist.
