  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups water
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar

Recipe 🍳

  1. Place 1 egg in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Mix starch with water to make a starch slurry.
  2. Pour 2 cups of water into a pot and add half a can of cream-style canned corn, stirring well to dissolve any clumps.
  3. Add a pinch of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to season the soup, then turn on the heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
  4. Once the soup begins to bubble, reduce the heat and slowly pour in the prepared starch slurry while stirring continuously to achieve a thick consistency.
  5. When the soup starts to bubble and reaches the desired thickness, slowly pour the beaten egg mixture in a circular motion to create delicate ribbons.
  6. Let the egg cook gently until it floats to the surface, then stir lightly once or twice and transfer to a serving bowl to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you only have regular grain-style canned corn, blend it with a little water using a blender or hand-held mixer until smooth.
  • For extra richness, if time allows, add chopped store-bought crab meat, enoki mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms while cooking for a more luxurious and hearty dish.
  • Just before turning off the heat, drizzle in about half a teaspoon of sesame oil for a deeper, nutty aroma.
