• 1 clove Garlic
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced chicken pieces to the pot and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until the chicken turns opaque.

Pour in the chicken stock and water, then bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the sweet corn kernels and reduce to a simmer. Let the soup cook for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while stirring continuously to thicken the broth.

Step 9

Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Lower the heat and slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.
