This corn rice is made with summer corn and rice, flavored with butter and sauteed onion. It’s so savory, nutty, and the perfect compliment to any meal!
What you’ll need to make corn rice:
- Butter:
- Onion
- Rice
- Water
- Corn
- Optional toppings: Furikake rice seasoning and soy sauce

How to make con rice at home:
Remove the corn kernels from the cob. Set aside for later.
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. I like to rinse rice around 4-5 times.
Add butter and diced onion in a heavy-bottomed pot or stone pot. On medium-high heat, saute the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
To the same pot, add the rinsed rice and water. Add the cob and corn kernels on top of the rice.
Cook the rice and let it steam.
Once done, fluff the rice and serve with soy sauce and furikake seasoning.
