photo: Scott Phillips

Servings:4

This Chinese restaurant mainstay becomes a light and lovely supper with the addition of crab, baby corn, and peas.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups lower-salt chicken broth
  • 4 oz. canned whole baby corn, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 Tbs. finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 3个大鸡蛋,轻轻殴打
  • 6 oz. crabmeat, preferably jumbo lump, picked over (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2杯冷冻豌豆
  • 1-1/2 tsp. seasoned rice vinegar
  • Freshly ground white pepper
  • 3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
  • Hot sauce, such as Sriracha (optional)

Preparation

  • In a 5-quart pot, bring the broth, baby corn, and ginger to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch; add it to the pot and cook, stirring, until bubbly and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour the eggs into the pot in a slow, steady stream and cook without stirring until egg strands float to the surface, about 1 minute.
  • Add the crab, peas, vinegar, and 1/8 tsp. white pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Break up any large pieces of egg, if necessary. Serve the soup garnished with the scallions and a little hot sauce, if you like.

    This is a good recipe, but it definitely needs a dash of sesame oil at the end. I also added a clove of minced garlic, that I sautéed for a minute with the ginger before adding the broth. And I think a little more salt would be good, or even some fish sauce along with the soy sauce.
