Notes

1. A reader mentioned that she usually finishes it off with a drizzle of sesame oil which I sometimes do too! Sesame oil goes fabulously with this 🙂

2. The soup freezes great, but it is best to leave out the cornstarch slurry and add that in when reheating. 🙂 This is because things thickened with cornstarch tend to be a bit watery once frozen (fridge is ok, no effect). Not massively watery, because the corn and egg are thickeners too, but it isn't quite as thick. Or if you are freezing leftovers, just add a little bit more cornstarch when reheating, if you want to thicken it slightly.
