Method
 

Cooking Directions
  1. Heat oil in a wok or pot over high heat. Add corn kernels and stir-fry briefly until slightly golden.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock, bringing it to a gentle boil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry.
  4. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Gradually add half the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. If you prefer a thicker soup, feel free to add more of the slurry until you reach your desired thickness.
  6. Sprinkle in salt, ground white pepper, and turmeric for flavor.
  7. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create ribbons.
  8. Once the eggs are fully incorporated, turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped scallions and drizzle with sesame oil.
