Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1.5 cups Sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 6 cups Chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the chicken stock over medium heat. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sweet corn kernels. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Allow the soup to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the shredded chicken to the soup and stir to combine.
Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently in a circular motion to create thin egg ribbons.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
