"Kathy is my sister. She & her DH have lived & spent a lot of time in the orient. He was raised there as his Dad was a marine biologist doing research for the US Navy in Taiwan. I asked her to give me a selection of her favorite recipes for an oriental meal & this was the starter course she selected from her "Wei-Chuan Cookbook" by Huang Su Huei. Enjoy!"

This soup is a lot like egg drop soup, but not really. I missed the hint of green onion I usually see in this type of soup, but it was much hardier and served as a main course soup for us. I omitted the salt and I'm glad I did. Anyone who wants more can add it at the table.

I'm rating this 5 stars for taste. Although appearance wise it resembles egg drop soup, this is fuller bodied and the sesame oil adds an unexpected, but delightful, note. I was guilty of selecting the recipe based on the ingredient list and was surprised at the prep steps. I elected to precook the chicken before using it in step 1. I also completely omitted the 2 teaspoons of salt. None of us missed it at all. I thought the corn and broth offered plenty.Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for FYC tag.
