Tips
The recipe actually works better with 'cream style corn' rather than actual sweetcorn, but I've never managed to find it in a shop (in England). You can buy it online though.

We found out our 20th Anniversary was a "China" anniversary and so had a big chinese themed party for 40 people in our garden. I cooked all the chinese food outside and made this soup in large quantities for a starter. Wow!! Highly recommended - only comment is that there is a little too much chicken in the recipe and this can overpower so I used just 2 large chicken breasts and multiplied the rest of the recipe by 4. Wonderful!
Ingredients
- 400g tinned sweetcorn
- 1 chicken stock cube
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 eggs
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- water
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame oil
Method
- First, grill your chicken breasts in a little sesame oil.
- Then, pour some water and a chicken stock cube into a saucepan, and bring to the boil.
- Add the sweetcorn to the pan and simmer for 10-15 mins.
- While you wait, whisk an egg in a bowl.
- When the chicken is cooked, finely shred it and add it to the soup.
- Then, add the egg: slowly pour it into the soup, stirring it gently with a fork. This will make it go nice and stringy.
- Finally, blend the cornflour with a little water and stir it into a paste. Then add it to the soup.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
- (You can garnish it with sliced spring onions to make it look pretty if you want)
