Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add ginger and saute 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and saute until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn and saute until heated through. Transfer corn mixture to large bowl. Immediately pour dressing over. Toss to combine. Cover and chill until cold. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Toss corn salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and serve.

NOTE*: If you're running short on time, simply boil the corn until tender instead of cooking it on the grill. If you opt to boil it, omit brushing the corn first with oil.
