About this dish

Bắp xào is what Saigon eats standing up, from a cart, on the way home. Sweet corn hits a screaming-hot wok with butter until the kernels blister, then dried shrimp and spring onion go in for salt and depth. It arrives glossy and steaming, and it disappears faster than anything else on the table.
