Thick Corn Soup

A Simple & easy to make soup, I love thick soup but I just found out that my kids do not like thick soup. Hmmm..

Here is the recipe the soup & hope you like them. 

Serve 5 

Ingredients :

200g minced pork / chicken meat.

1 tbsp of oyster sauce 

1 tbsp of shaoxing cooking wine

100g of corns - I used canned corns

1 large egg lightly beaten

1" ginger - thinly sliced

2 clove of garlic - chopped 

2 tbsp of cooking oil

Light soya sauce to taste

Pepper to taste

3-4 tbsp of corn flour mix with some water for thickening the soup. 

Preparation Steps : 

1. Marinate the meat, with oyster sauce, shaoxing wine & set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. 

2. Heat up the wok, add in the cooking oil. Fry the garlic & ginger until they are fragrant.

3. Add in the meat & fry until they are almost cooked. Add in the 5 bowls (about 1L) of water. Add in the corns, soya sauce & bring to boil.

4. Stirring the soup while you pour in the corn flour mixture. You have to stir otherwise you'll get lots of starch lumps in your soup. 

5. Turn off the flame, hold your eggs high & pour in the egg. Swirl around the wok of soup. 

6. Serve hot, garnish with spring onions & with a dash of pepper! 

Chin's notes: 

1. Use lesser corn flour if you do not like very thick soup. My soup bowl is about 200ml of water. 

2. Careful when you pour in the corn flour mixture, remember to keep stirring the soup while you pour in corn flour mixture to prevent starch lumps.

3. Can be served with black vinegar if you like vinegar. But I prefer them as it is with some pepper. 

Bon appétit !
