Ingredients for making kokoro (corn stick).
- Ground yellow corn,
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- Pinch of grated ginger (optional)
- Pinch of hot pepper (optional)
- Mix a pinch of salt and everything well.
- Water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Remove all the dirt in the yellow corn and grind it into a powder. Another alternative, buy yellow cornmeal powder from the market.


NB: I prefer if you grind it yourself. This allows you to spend your time removing all the dirt).
- Measure a cup of dry cornmeal and divide it into two parts. (half a cup each)
- In a small bowl, add ½ cup cornmeal, sugar, pepper, salt, and grated ginger. Mix well and set aside
- Pour half a cup of water into a saucepan and let it boil.
- Once done, add the cornmeal to the boiling water and stir constantly until it thickens. Scrape the dough from the ladle, cover in plastic wrap or a ladle and set aside to cool.
- Put the cornmeal in a large bowl, cover and let cool completely.
- When cool, add remaining dry cornmeal and knead until smooth.
- Cut a small portion and place it on a flat surface (add a little cornmeal to the surface to prevent it from sticking) and roll it up to form the famous long finger shape.
- When rolling out kokoro, you will need to roll the ends (both ends) thinner than the middle section
- You can even come up with your own shape. Repeat this process for the remaining dough until everything is ready.
- Place the pan on the stove, heat enough oil and let it reach about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Knowing the oil temperature is very important.
- Don’t let it get too hot because you don’t want Kokoro’s limbs to burn.
- You can test the oil by dipping the thin part of the ladle in the oil. If it sizzles, it’s hot enough to start frying. Fry the mixture on a stick until it becomes firm or golden brown.
- Remove Kokoro from heat and place on grading lines with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. Pack it in your own nylon or plastic containers, put your label on it, and sell it.
