Three Pearls Soup
- 4 ounces chicken breasts
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornflour
- 2 ounces peas (I use frozen)
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 -2 tablespoon rice wine or 1 -2 tablespoon dry sherry
- salt
- white pepper
- Remove sinew and membrane from the chicken breast, chop or mince very finely to almost a paste.
- Mix with 1/2 a tablespoon of the cornflour, milk, add the egg white and blend well.
- Skin the tomatoes, cut them in small cubes about the size of the peas.
- Bring the stock to the boil; add the peas and the tomatoes, when it boils again remove from the stove.
- With one chopstick pick up a little of the chicken mixture and drop that in the stock, go on until all the chicken is used up and you have lots of chicken bits/balls pea size.
- Put the pan back on high heat and bring to the boil again, mix the one-tablespoon of cornflour with some water, add to the soup, then add salt, white pepper and 1 tablespoon of the rice wine.
- Do a last taste check and serve.
