Korean Mexican Street Corn. Sweet corn covered in a creamy Japanese mayonnaise with a sweet Bulgogi sauce reduction seasoned with seaweed and sesame seeds.
My Korean Inspired Mexican Style Street Corn recipe is really easy to make because we are using store-bought Bulgogi sauce. Also, it only takes 20 minutes to make & 5 ingredients!

We recently bought a bunch of local sweet corn and I wanted to really share a seasonal recipe with you all featuring it.
Then my husband and I got brainstorming and he came up with a wicked recipe for some Korean Mexican street corn on the cob! Now I know there are many Mexican street corn variations but have you ever seen a Korean style version? When I looked online, there was only 1 recipe!
Now instead of using the Mexican toppings, we would use a reduced Bulgogi sauce (store bought), over some Japanese mayo, sprinkled with seasoned seaweed strips and sesame seeds.
I am very excited to share this fun recipe with you so now you can have Korean Mexican street corn at home!
What does it taste like?
When I took a bite of this Korean street corn, it was pure heaven in my mouth I couldn't even described.
The creaminess mayo with the sweet Bulgogi sauce and the umami flavour of the seaweed was incredible. If you don't try making this, then you are honestly missing out my friends!
