    Rinse rice in a sieve under cold running water, until water runs clear. Place rice and 1¾ cups (430ml) water in a medium heavy based saucepan; bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, reduce 
heat to low; cook for 12 minutes or 
until tender. Remove pan from heat; stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff 
rice with a fork; cool.

    Meanwhile, heat a char-grill plate 
(or grill or barbecue) over high heat. Peel back the corn husks; remove and discard the silks. Cook corn, turning, 
for 15 minutes, or until lightly charred all over. Cool slightly, then cut kernels from cobs.
