- 6 large eggs, whisked
Vegetables and Corn:
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced with the white and green parts
- 2 medium carrots, finely diced
- 1 (15-ounce/425 grams) can whole kernel corn
- 1 (15-ounce/425 grams) can of creamed corn
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 8 cups (1.9 liters) chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup (30 grams) cornstarch

Instructions
- Gather a large pot and combine chicken stock, cooked chicken (diced or shredded), ground ginger, garlic powder, white sections of green onions, finely diced carrots, whole kernel corn, and creamed corn.
- Position the pot over medium heat, allowing the mixture to warm and gradually approach a gentle simmer.
- Lower the temperature to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the ingredients meld together for approximately 10 minutes until the carrots become tender.
- In a separate mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk the remaining chicken stock with cornstarch until smooth and fully integrated.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering soup, stirring continuously for one minute to encourage thickening.
- Create a gentle whirlpool motion within the soup using a spoon, then carefully drizzle whisked eggs into the rotating liquid, allowing the hot broth to instantaneously transform the eggs into delicate, silky ribbons.
- Introduce toasted sesame oil to the soup, stirring to distribute the rich, nutty flavor evenly throughout.
- Sample the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper according to personal preference.
- Transfer the hot soup into serving bowls, garnishing with the remaining green sections of green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
