Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup crabmeat
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 2 stalks green onion
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the chicken stock and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the sweet corn kernels to the pot and let them cook for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the crabmeat and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the crab is heated through.
While the soup is simmering, prepare a cornstarch slurry by whisking the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth.
Gradually drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the soup while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the soup to a silky consistency. Let it cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the soup in a thin stream while stirring gently with a fork or chopstick to create egg ribbons.
Season the soup with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them on top of the soup as a garnish before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
