- Place the chicken or vegetable stock /broth in a saucepan. Add a can of Razmin creamed corn, Razmin Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Ginger and chicken. Reserve a tablespoon of the chicken to use as garnish in the end. Bring to a boil, and then cook for about 2 minutes.
- Dissolve the cornflour / corn starch in cold water to make a slurry, and add this to the soup. Cook the soup for a few minutes, until it thickens. Incase desired consistency isn’t reached, another teaspoon of cornflour / corn starch can be used.
- Add salt and white pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Turn the heat off, and then slowly add the egg in the soup. As it cooks, egg ribbons will be created throughout the soup. This step will also thicken the soup.
