KOREAN CORN CHEESE
A uniquely Korean-American creation, corn cheese is a dish inspired by two cultures. The simplicity of the ingredients - canned corn, mayonnaise and mild shredded cheese - yields a nearly effortless banchan, or side dish, that smells and tastes like comfort. It's extremely kid-friendly, but is also enjoyed as anju, or food that pairs well with alcohol. (Soju, a popular Korean alcoholic beverage, is a great match.) This versatile, sweet-savory dish is best enjoyed hot and accompanied by an array of dishes, like kimchi, gochujang-glazed eggplant, bulgogi or galbi.

Steps:
- Heat your broiler. In a medium bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
- In an 8-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over high. Add the corn mixture and sauté just until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a single layer, then cover with cheese.
- Set the skillet on the rack nearest the broiler and cook until the cheese is golden brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Keep a close eye on it, as oven temperatures may vary.)
- Sprinkle with the scallions and enjoy while it's hot and cheesy!
