Ingredients

  • chicken or vegetable broth/stock
    2 c
  • creamed corn
    1 can
  • soy sauce

    all purpose or light

    1 tsp
  • Chinese cooking wine or Mirin or Dry Sherry
    1 tbsp
  • ginger
    1 tsp
  • garlic clove
    1
  • cornflour/cornstarch

    mixed with a splash of cold water

    1 tsp
  • egg
    1
  • cooked chicken
    1 c
  • Salt
  • White pepper
  • scallions/shallots
    3 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, creamed corn, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine (or alternative), minced ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.

  2. 2

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, stir in the cornflour slurry (cornflour mixed with cold water) slowly while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. This will thicken the soup to a smooth consistency.

  3. 3

    Add the shredded cooked chicken to the soup and stir to combine. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes so the chicken becomes warm and infused with soup flavors.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour the whisked egg into the hot soup in a steady stream while stirring the soup gently in one direction. This technique will create delicate egg ribbons throughout the soup.

  5. 5

    Season the soup with salt and white pepper according to your preference. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  6. 6

    Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle sliced scallions or shallots on top for an added fresh, mild onion flavor and visual appeal. Serve hot.
