Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, add white pepper and salt to taste. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (10 minutes)
03 Step

04 Step
Recipe View
While the soup is simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the soup thickens slightly. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Remove the pot from heat. Gradually drizzle in sesame oil, stirring gently to incorporate. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Slowly drizzle in the lightly beaten egg white while swirling the soup gently with a fork or chopsticks to create delicate egg ribbons. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh scallions. For a tangy/hot flavor, combine rice wine vinegar and chopped green chilies. Refrigerate until serving time and then sprinkle about a teaspoon of this on the soup. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of canned broth.
Adjust the amount of white pepper and salt to your preference. A pinch of sugar can also enhance the sweetness of the corn.
Ensure the soup is not boiling when adding the egg white to prevent it from cooking too quickly and becoming clumpy. Swirling the soup gently creates delicate, even ribbons.
Toasted sesame oil adds a wonderful nutty aroma. Be careful not to add too much, as it can be overpowering.

The cornstarch slurry is key to getting the right consistency. I accidentally added it too quickly the first time and it clumped up, so definitely follow the instructions carefully.
