Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Chicken breast
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 4 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
Place the chicken breast in a pot of boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, let it cool, and shred it into small pieces using two forks.
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sweet corn kernels and shredded chicken to the stock. Simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually pour the mixture into the soup while stirring constantly to thicken the broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the soup has a slightly thicker consistency.
In another small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup while stirring continuously in a circular motion to create silky egg ribbons.
Season the soup with soy sauce, salt, and ground white pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Simmer the soup for another 2 minutes, stirring gently to ensure the flavors combine well.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with finely chopped spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
