- 1 liter chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the grated ginger, sweetcorn kernels, and crab meat to the stock. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup, stirring constantly, to thicken the soup. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering soup while stirring gently with a fork or chopstick to create delicate egg ribbons.
