baby corn
Small stir-fry vegetable
Baby corn is immature corn harvested before the kernels develop, eaten whole including the cob.
The small, tender ears appear frequently in stir-fries and Asian cuisine: The pad thai came with baby corn and water chestnuts.
Unlike mature corn, baby corn has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a delicate crunch.
