Notes
Use fresh or frozen corn: Fresh cut kernels are best, but thawed corn works well too.
Cut vegetables evenly: Use a vegetable chopper for uniform pieces.
Stir frequently: Prevents the mixture from sticking while it thickens.
Taste and adjust: Add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for extra tang.
