- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes OR 2 cups shredded leftover cooked chicken
- 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
- In a medium pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the creamed corn. Add the cubed chicken and cook 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (If using leftover chicken, cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.)
- Add the sesame oil, then ad the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Slowly pour the egg into he soup in a steady stream, stirring or whisking constantly. The egg should cook immediately and look like long yellowish-white strands. Remove from heat as soon as you see the strands appear. Serve immediately.
