Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 200 grams Canned sweet corn kernels
- 200 grams Creamed corn
- 4 cups Chicken stock
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the stock and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
Stir in the canned sweet corn kernels and creamed corn. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the soup, stirring continuously, until the soup thickens slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well-beaten.
Turn the heat to low and gently pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a slow, thin stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create silky egg ribbons.
Stir in sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to season the soup.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot and garnish with chopped spring onions, if desired.
