Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 green onion (, chopped)
1/2 pound (200 grams) ground chicken ((or ground turkey))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or Japanese sake) ((Optional))
1 teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
2 cups chicken stock ((*see footnote 1))
1 to 2 cups frozen corn ((*see footnote 2))
1/4 cup frozen peas ((Optional))
2 tablespoons potato starch
3 eggs (or 4 egg whites, beaten)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a big pot until warm. Add ginger and white part of green onion. Stir a few times until fragrant.
  • Add ground chicken. Stir and cook until the surface turns white. Add sake and salt. Keep cooking until the chicken is almost cooked through.
  • Add chicken stock and 2 cups water. Turn to high heat. Cook until bringing to a boil. Add frozen corn and peas. Continue to cook until bringing to a boil again.
  • While boiling the soup, combine potato starch with 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
  • Skim the foam from top of the soup if you want it to look prettier (optional). Turn off heat.
  • Swirl potato starch slurry into the soup. Mix well.
  • Put a spatula (or a fork) against one end of the bowl with the egg in it. Slowly drizzle egg into the soup in a swirling motion.
  • Mix the soup again and taste it with a small spoon (be careful, the soup is very hot!). If the soup is not as thick as you'd like, mix a bit more potato starch slurry and add it into the soup. Add more salt to adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve warm.

CREAMY CORN AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SOUP



Creamy Corn and Shiitake Mushroom Soup image

When preparing this Chinese classic, Vietnamese cooks, like their northern neighbors, often rely on canned creamed corn, once considered an exotic foreign import in Asia. The velvety sweet-savory result fuses East and West. Here in the States, fresh corn is plentiful, and making this soup with kernels cut from the cob yields bright flavors that aren't cloying. Neither cornstarch nor egg is needed to create a creamy texture. The natural starch in the corn provides it. Some cooks add a variety of embellishments to the soup, but I prefer to keep it simple, using only sliced shiitake mushrooms for their flavor, texture, and visual appeal. Make sure you use the sweetest corn possible, whether from your local market or farm stand, fresh or frozen.

Yield serves 6 to 8 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 cups corn kernels, cut from 6 to 8 ears, or 2 pounds frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups water
6 to 8 dried shiitake mushrooms, reconstituted (page 332), stemmed, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or thinly sliced green scallion tops

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, or until fragrant and soft. Add the corn, salt, and water, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the corn is very tender. Remove from the heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes before proceeding.
  • Position a coarse-mesh sieve on top of another saucepan. In batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor until velvety smooth. Pour each puréed batch through the sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add the mushrooms and set the soup aside until ready to serve. (The soup may be made up to 2 days in advance, cooled, and refrigerated.)
  • Reheat the soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. If the soup is too thick, thin it with water. Taste and add extra salt, if necessary. Ladle the soup into a large serving bowl or individual bowls. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.
