Serves: 6
Ingredients
- Chicken 1 leg quarter, half boneless breast piece
- Water 8-10 cups
- Salt to taste
- Celery stick 1 (if available)
- Green onion 1
- Carrot 1 (peeled)
- Corn 1 small or 1/2 big can
- Soya sauce 2 tbsp
- Vinegar 1 tbsp
- Chili sauce optional
- Corn flour /starch 2 tbsp
- Egg 1
- Black pepper freshly ground 1/2-1 tsp
Instructions
- Boil chicken with salt, celery, green onion, and carrot. When the chicken is cooked strain the stock and keep it in a separate pot. Discard vegetables. Shred chicken into fine pieces.
- Coarsely chop corn or crush it in a mortar pestle. Do not use a food processor or using just one pulse should be enough.
- Heat the stock and add corn, chicken pieces, soya sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce. Cook it for about 10 minutes.
- Make a paste of cornflour with about 2-3 tbsp water and add to the soup slowly monitoring the thickness you want. You may have to use more cornflour or less. It depends on how thick you want.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the soup while it’s still boiling. Don’t mix it right away, let it cook for 30 seconds and then mix it.
- Add black pepper. You may need to add less or more depending on your taste. Turn off the heat.
- Serve with your favorite condiments like soya sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, etc.
Note: Do not cook for more than 2-5 min after adding cornflour as it will make the soup thin rather than making it thick.
