I boiled the corn, before cooking the dish.
As I felt that, for the quick cooking, the raw corn will not be cooked.
Thanks. Kugan

Kugan akka, This is Sweet corns, my receipe was with Quorn (soya life cubes) so I dont think the way you made it would have tasted nice

I did not know Quorn was not available in Malaysia

My mum does the same (but without the ginger

) and it is really lovely to eat with nasi lemak!

and you know what, becos of the vinegar this sauce can keep months in the fridge (use cling wrap so that it doesnt evaporate).
