Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add lemongrass and braise gently for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan. Add the chili and cook for two minutes before stirring in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook for 5-8 minutes (or until corn is nice and tender) while shaking the pan frequently. Season with a bit of sea salt and serve hot.
