Crab And Corn Soup Recipe
August 21st 2008 08:30
Crab and corn soup is a popular dish on many Chinese menus, as is chicken and corn soup. Both are made by the same method, one using fish stock and crabmeat, the other using chicken stock and chicken meat.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures I demonstrate how to make this delicious and nutritious soup at home. It is not difficult and does not require specialized equipment.
Ingredients
30ml Sesame oil
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Grated ginger
1 Corn cob
3 Shallots
200g Crab meat
400ml Fish stock
30ml Soy sauce
Pinch Salt and pepper
Pinch MSG
Pinch Chinese five spice
50g Corn flour
1 Egg white
Method
In a wok, gently fry the garlic and ginger.
Cut the corn from the cob and add it and the chopped shallots.
Add the crab meat but do not fry it until it is coloured, as this will darken the soup.
Add the stock and soy sauce.
Add the seasonings and bring the soup to the boil.
Remove from the heat and add a slurry of corn flour and water, whilst stirring continuously.
Beat the egg white with a teaspoon of water to make it fluid, but not foaming.
Serve the soup into bowls while piping hot and swirl a dribble of egg white into the bowl.
