Ingredients

  • 1 litre salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 400 g can creamed corn
  • 200 g fresh corn kernels
  • 3 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or verjuice)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, plus extra to serve
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 300 g roast chicken meat, shredded
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • Sliced spring onion, to serve
  • Chopped coriander, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the chicken stock, creamed corn, corn kernels, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to form a slurry. Add to the saucepan and stir well to combine.
  3. While stirring the soup, gently pour in the whisked eggs in a stream to form delicate egg ribbons.
