Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (5 -6 ounce) skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons chinese rice wine or 2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon finely shredded fresh ginger
4 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) container shelf-stable firm silken tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (including tops)

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. - Add a tablespoon of soy sauce or fish sauce for a savory umami flavor. - If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of grated ginger. - For a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and stir until the soup thickens. - If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain it well before adding it to the soup. - Serve with a side of rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
