Chinese Dish: Chicken Corn Soup

Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken (500 grams)
  • Chicken stock (6 cups)
  • Sweet corn kernels (150 grams)
  • Corn flour (3 tablespoons)
  • Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • White vinegar (1 tablespoon)
  • Black pepper powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Ajinomoto/MSG (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Eggs (2)

Method

  1. Cut the chicken into thin strips. Marinate with 1 tablespoon of corn flour, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, MSG, and black pepper powder for 15–20 minutes.
  2. In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil and add the chicken and corn kernels. After a few boils, when the chicken is fully cooked, dissolve 2 tablespoons of corn flour in 1 cup of cold water and stir it in. Never add corn flour directly to hot soup—it will clump. Beat 2 eggs in a cup. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring constantly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, then serve hot.
