Notes
- Japanese Mayo: I highly recommend Japanese mayo for this recipe because it's creamier than American mayo and adds subtle sweet and tangy flavors. You can get it at local Asian or Japanese markets.
- Brown Sugar: A little goes a long way & I don't recommend skipping it! This helps accentuate the sweetness of the corn & contrast the saltiness of the cheese.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Grating your own cheese is the way to go, especially if you want gooey corn cheese with insane cheese pull!
