Scale
- 200 g boneless (skinless chicken breast, finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 3 cm piece ginger (grated)
- 1.2 L chicken stock
- 2 corn cobs (kernels removed)
- 2 tbsp Tamari
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- Shredded spring onions (to garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the chicken, garlic and ginger over medium heat for 2-3 minutes without colouring.
- Add chicken stock, corn kernels and tamari to the pot, before bringing to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add cornflour and continue to stir until mixture thickens slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and lemon juice together before slowly trickling mixture into the soup. Stir with a chopstick or fork to form egg strands.
- Serve whilst hot OR allow to cool slightly before you transfer soup to a food processor to quickly separate the chicken into smaller “strands” for a near-authentic Asian aesthetic.
