- 12 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 egg white, slightly beaten
- Combine broth, water and slices of fresh ginger over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to slow boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove ginger chunks.
- Add corn (and cayenne if using) and heat to boil.
- Meanwhile combine cornstarch and cold water.
- Add cornstarch mixture to soup and boil for a few minutes until soup has thickened.
- Add ham and heat through - shouldn't take long since its finely diced.
- Remove from heat.
- Add sesame oil and then SLOWLY add egg white while stirring.
- Adding the egg white slowly will help create a pretty ribbon effect.
