CREAMED CORN SOUP CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan(depending on your taste or needs you may wish to substitute some of the stock for water).
• Add chicken breast fillet to the stock, turn the heat off and cover the pain with a lid for 15 minutes.
• Remove chicken breast from the stock and leave to cool for a few minutes then shred.
• Add corn to stock and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
• Combine soy sauce and cornflour into a paste then stir into the soup to thicken slightly.
• Add shredded chicken to soup.
• Slowly pour beaten eggs into the soup in a steady stream, stirring constantly with a fork.
• Serve topped with the sliced spring onions and enjoy!
• NB: Cooking time includes the 15 minutes for "poaching" the chicken breast.

Steps:

• 1. Bring the stock to simmering point in a small saucepan. Add the chicken and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Strain the stock and set aside. Finely shred the meat with two forks.

  2. Heat a wok over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the side of the wok. Add the white part of the spring onion, the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the stock, water, corn kernels, creamed corn, soy sauce and rice wine. Stir until the soup comes to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, stir the cornflour, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of water together in a small bowl until smooth. Add a little of the hot stock, stir together, then pour this mixture into the soup. Bring to simmering point, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the chicken meat and heat through. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately, topped with the spring onion greens.
