Ingredients

  • 1.2l low-salt chicken stock
  • 140g wholewheat noodles
  • 140g baby corn, halved lengthways, or frozen sweetcorn
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Tip

Use up leftovers
This is a great dish for using up leftover roast chicken - just tear the meat into small pieces and add to the stock with the corn.

Method

  1. Place the chicken and stock in a large pan and bring to a simmer for 5 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions.

  2. Add the corn to the stock and cook for 2 mins. Stir the broth vigorously, then while it’s still swirling, hold a fork over the pan. Pour the eggs over the prongs in a slow stream. Stir again in the same direction then turn off the heat. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and the vinegar.

  3. Drain the noodles and divide between four bowls. Ladle over the egg drop broth, scatter with onions and serve.
