How to Prepare

In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Add the chicken breast, cover, and poach over low heat for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Remove, let cool slightly, then shred. Skim off any foam from the broth.

Increase the heat to medium and bring the broth back to a simmer. Add the sweetcorn and stir.

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot with 5 tbsp. water to make a slurry. Gradually stir it into the soup and let it simmer for 1 minute until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Slowly pour in the beaten eggs, stirring to create egg ribbons. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and cook for 1 more minute.

Finish with sesame oil and a dash of pepper. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.
