  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp sesame oil

300g chicken mince

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1L chicken stock

1 x 420g can sweet corn kernels, drained

3 tbsp cornstarch (mix with 1/4 cup water)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 spring onion stalks, finely sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot or wok over medium to high heat. Add the chicken mince and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until it starts to brown. Stir in the garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock, stirring to lift any caramelised bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the corn kernels and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for around 10 minutes.
  3. To thicken the soup, slowly add the cornflour slurry while stirring continuously. Once the soup has thickened, gently drizzle in the beaten eggs, stirring slowly to create soft ribbons.
  4. Add most of the chopped spring onion, keeping a little aside for garnish. Season with salt, pepper. Give it a final stir, then ladle into bowls and top with the remaining spring onion.
