Chinese Chicken and Corn Soup image

From a Sunset Magazine special edition, "Sunset Weeknight." I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds tasty. Suggested accompaniments include purchased (fresh or frozen) potstickers or egg rolls and cabbage slaw with Asian dressing.

Yield 6 serving(s)

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)
salt
white pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken and pat dry. Slice crosswise into 1/8-inch thick strips. Combine with rice wine, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • In a 3-4 quart nonstick pan over high heat, stir garlic and ginger in 1/2 tsp sesame oil for 10 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink on surface, about 2 minutes.
  • Add broth; cover pan and bring to a boil. Add tofu and corn to broth and return to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Add to soup; bring to boil, stirring constantly. Pour egg into soup, stirring gently for about 30 seconds to form thin strands of egg. Add remaining 1/2 tsp sesame oil, green onions, and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I ended up adding some extra salt and pepper.
