I wanted to make a Chinese style soup to go with dinner one day, and I thought of onion and corn as good additions that would cook up quickly. My husband is not a huge fan of soup, but he eats this one right up, so I've been making it ever since. I can make it with ingredients I always have in stock, so it saves money too.

By thickening the soup, the egg disperses nice and evenly. Another point to making the egg fluffy is to add a little water to it beforehand!! Also, turn the heat off right away to prevent the egg from becoming tough. For 2 servings. Recipe by Eisakun

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1as much (to taste) Frozen sweet corn kernels
  2. 1/2 mediumOnion
  3. 1Egg
  4. 4 tspper 600 ml Chicken stock granules
  5. 1to 2 teaspoons Mentsuyu
  6. 1Katakuriko slurry

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the onion into 1 cm wide wedges, then cut in half.

  2. 2

    Put the onion and corn in a pan. Add the chicken soup stock granules and simmer until the onion is translucent. If you have some mentsuyu sauce add a little to bring the flavors together.

  3. 3

    Add the katakuriko dissolved in water to thicken the soup (use katakuriko and water in a 1:1 ratio).

  4. 4

    Beat the egg well to break up the egg white. The key is to add 1 tablespoon of water. Pour it into the pan all at once; when the egg spreads out like a flower opening up, mix it with a ladle. Don't mix it right away!

  5. 5

    When the egg is fluffy it's done. It's important not to overcook this.
