Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless and skinless) Chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Sweetcorn (canned or frozen)
- 5 cups Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 large (lightly beaten) Eggs
- 3 stalks (finely chopped) Spring onions
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (adjust to taste) White pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional) Sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium pot, pour the chicken stock and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts into the boiling stock. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and let the chicken cook for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked through.
Step 3
Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Step 4
Add the sweetcorn, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the stock. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let the soup simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream while stirring gently to create silky egg ribbons.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil (if using) for added flavor.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving. Enjoy hot!
