How to make it

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill corn until charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice kernels off the cob.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo, Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, minced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, grilled corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, black beans, green onions, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and toss until well coated.

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. For extra heat, drizzle more Chiu Chow chili crisp oil on top and finish with crumbled cotija or queso fresco. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
