Fantastic, easy, and quick recipe. I made your recipe tonight, April 2023, and it was delicious. I can't believe how easy it was. It was always a soup I bought when I was feeling sick with flu.😅 Now I can make it myself. 😄 Thank you and your mum. 🤩🥣👍
This recipe works 100% dont worry about stock or creamed corn the water works fine. This tasted identical to the Chinese takeaway round the corner. This was so quick and easy I wont be buying again! Thank you so much for the video
Made this for lunch turned out exactly like my local takeaways do it. Great channel you have uncovered lots of little secrets for me and answered questions I had in my head.
So I have been making my own version of chicken and corn soup for some years now. Just made this and I will not go back to doing it as I was before! Kids loved it ! Thanks to the both of u!
I've had a request for this as I used to be very good at it. Your channel is really helpful and so very entertaining. These days, I get a bit fussy about the prices in takeaways but, I have come to realise through watching you, just how much work, preparation and skill actually goes in to making good Chinese food. There are two really good places in this town among ten in a radius of about 1.5 miles. Really great and hopefully I shall obtain your book as a festive gift for a loved family. Thanks again
Fantastic. I have just cooked it and we devoured the lot, so I instantly made another batch and we polished that off aswell. We used chives instead of spring onions, as we have those in the garden. I also added a little more salt to our taste. Wow. Got yerself another subscriber.........
Tried a couple of recipes and they are fantastic and way superior to the local takeaway. Looking forward to putting in an order online. Thank you lovely people XX
Just made this, my first time ever making any kind of soup, so simple and a foolproof recipe and instructions. Can't believe how awesome and authentic it tastes. Had a bowl for lunch, to sample it haha. The rest is for starters tonight before some of your other dishes. Thank you so much for the video, love it!
I had no idea this was so simple. I’m eating soup from a takeaway right now. I love it. That light, sweet, savoury taste and thick texture. It’s comfort in a bowl, or plastic tub in this case. I also find it very nice when I’m ill. I’m grabbing the ingredients tomorrow and having a go myself. Wait…apparently I’ve commented on this before. Damn my poor memory!
Just seemed too easy - I was suspicious. Added a clove of crushed garlic in with chicken - and used homemade chicken stock - as I had some - otherwise stuck to the recipe - and just wow! Had son and wife slurping this up. Amazing
I'm sick today (worst cold I've had in years) and really didn't fancy much for dinner. While procrastinating I browsed through your channel and ended up being inspired by this video to make egg drop soup. Light and nutritious, it was just what I needed. It was nowhere near authentic, and to be honest, I can't tell you if it was nice or not as I couldnt taste a thing. Even the most intense flavours are like stewed knitting right now, but even so, it really hit the spot. I actually feel a little better. Chicken and sweetcorn is one of my favourites so I'll give this a go soon, but I'd also live to see a recipe for egg drop from you at some point ;) Have a good one. X
My favourite soup I always order it but I’m trying to save these days so this recipe was a life saver. I’m shocked this was so simple to make now I’m mad at myself that I never learned how to make it before.
Just made this for the first time - can't believe how easy it is. It's not quite right but I'm sure with practice I'll get it down! Best regards to you and your mum 😊
I was another one concerned that just using water would make the soup bland, so the first 2 or 3 times I made this I used homemade chicken stock instead and it was delicious, but recently I followed your recipe to the letter & used water. Incredible! I was blown away by how tasty it was & surprised that I preferred it to using stock. Couple of days ago I didn't have any chicken in, so used mushrooms - it was still brilliant. Thanks for the recipe!
That’s the thing with cooking, people like to complicate things to make it “better” but especially with Chinese cooking often simple gets amazing results
So happy to find your channel. I’ve been trying to find easy to follow recipes for Asian style cuisines. Thanks so much to you and your mum for sharing with us. From a happy guy in New Zealand 👍🏽
Youre mum is gorgeous and youre both great to watch. Sending this recipe to my son. We have a bloke here in Australia called the one pot chef who's just as cheery as you. Thanks so much for sharing :)
Ive watched all of your videos and i dont think you say how long to cook the boiled chicken for or how to prepare it Any chance you could tell us thanks
Ive just made this for the first time not a bad effort but a bit like glue! Less starch nextime! Lol love your channel ive learnt loads and made my fave chicken green pepper in black bean sause brilliant thank you!
I made this, I substituted the chicken for cornflakes and all other ingredients for just milk. Everyone loved it, some put sugar on top. Thank you for sharing!
I finished making it a while ago. I'm surprised as to how easy of a dish it is. I put in some lemon juice though because I have it with absolutely every dish I eat. It was 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼. DEEEEFOOOOOOO making it again
Wow, such a simple dish but so much flavour in such a short time. Quick and simply, and yes a grind of black pepper and a dash of Shaoxing with the spring onions and sesame oil 😺
I always find cheap eggs have a fishy smell and taste, I googled it once and some egg producers feed the chickens something called fishmeal, because it's cheaper, and this aroma comes through in the eggs!
What a bunch of dbags your teachers must’ve been! Awesome recipe have tried it and is amazing thanks again team your videos are truly amazing and an absolute inspiration to me! 👌👌👍👍 x
Thanks, we are a new channel, only been uploading since Jan this year, but recently our subscribers have rocketed! its unbelievable and we are so grateful for it
Creamed sweet corn was used as it was cheaper than sweet corn. This is one of those rare dishes that Chinese people would actually cook at and eat at home, they'd never use creamed sweet, but creamed sweet corn is nice
I`ve made a chicken & sweetcorn soup before. it tasted just like the one I`ve got from the Chinese. I froze chicken bones with meat still on it & used that. it was beautiful if I do say so myself xx
Made this again but less salty! Still went the sick looking route when adding the egg but served with a thick slice of toasted bread, perfect. I'd plump for more water though. 300ml doesn't seem enough and it evaporates quickly.
The soup sounds like it might of been to hot, a rolling bubble will cause that to happen, the liquid needs to be hot but noy hot enough to bubble furiously to get ribbens, and it should take minutes to finish if its evaporating you are taking to long, remember takeaway food is done very quickly, after all its fast food
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop i think I was taking too long, lol! I kept checking then pausing the video too many times, even though it's only a few simple steps. I think I can do it from memory now :)
@@bhamacuk lol that might of been why it was too salty too, but let me know how it works out for you, the once the soup is boiling it should only take 2 minutes max to finish :)
My favourite video by far guys always wanted to know how you guys make this can't beat chicken sweet corn soup with prawn cracker mmm delicious 😋 I'm definitely going to give this try tomorrow hope it's goes well as what you guys done hello mum what beautiful lady ❤️
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Once again brilliant recipe and I have happy kids. You wanted pictures and feedback... How do I send the pictures (and video) of my results to you? Oh and happy kids pics. Lol
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop my effort could be improved next time. When I added the egg, it went the sick route! It was a bit salty cos i used stock, which I probably won't next time. I increased the amount of water cos 300ml seemed to little. Anyway, I'm glad I know how to make it now. Thanks for sharing.
the last time I had a bowl of soup like that, was about 1966, (Proper stuff) now day's most of the T/As seem to use tins of creamed sweet corn. nice one.
Old Timer ive never experienced the creamed sweetcorn, everywhere round here still uses real sweet corn and not the cheap blended stuff. Im going to have to find show where that does so i can try it. I can imagine it tasting werid as ive had creamed sweetcorn before and the flavour is almost sickly.
The first time I ate Green Giant sweetcorn (NO I don`t work for Green Giant) I thought I was eating something else, it really is dilishous (close enough)
Yes it's hugely different, we have a video lined up for it, but we have had over 1500 people ask for many different dishes so we will get to them all as soon as we can :)
Tried it again - and have learned stuff! Turns out I'm diluting the potato starch too much, so it takes ages (and lots) to thicken. Also the egg - I've been adding a whole beaten egg and.. well, they are actual ribbon sized instead of threads. Ain't no thing though, at the end of the day I dunno what to do with half a beaten egg so may aswell use it all. Almost perfect - I think because of my starch mistake, the MSG/Salt was getting a bit too diluted to really get that takeaway flavour. All that being said - This is super easy and quick. Supermarket does cooked chicken strips in the frozen section, once I remember to defrost some, this whole thing from prep to eating takes about 10 mins. Quick ask - If I was to do one of the other soups (Chicken/Mushroom, Crab/Sweetcorn) is it literally subbing in the different bits, or are there other ingredients added?
That looks fantastic. Going to try it today. Really great channel that I have stumbled on by accident! Could you do salt and pepper squid Chinese style?
Great simple and quick dish. Thanks for the video. Now, a question. How do you make homemade chips taste like ' chippy chips ' ??. That's the question everyone wants the answer to innit !! ,😉
Scape0goat, I worked in an Irish family run chippy as a teenager where we made chips from scratch as follows. Prep: Peel and chip potatoes, put in (food grade) buckets of water, heat vegetable oil to medium heat, not hot! add well drained chips and cook/blanch until soft, take chips out and leave aside for when you need them. Cook: Heat oil to a hot temperature, cook until browned/crispy, take out, drain oil etc, salt (&vinegar) and enjoy! 😁
I meant to say potato starch, hadn't noticed my mistake until you pointed it out, ether one is fine though, doesn't affect taste, just corn starch goes watery quicker.
Really depends on what your using it for, toasted is my fav and best for soups, blackened is where the seeds are toasted til.thwy blacken and is much stronger and bitter, but really good for marinades
2 questions 1. Do you put the water in cold or already boiled ? 2. Is the chicken raw or did you velvet it first ? Thanks. I’m doing some Chinese stuff in my chanel after getting inspiration from you 2 legends. I always mention you 🙌🏻
Most takeaways will buy it in pre cooked it's normally 70% 30% water, hence why it's so soft, back in the day they used to come in raw and we've done s prep video on it that will be out this Friday. But you need to find the water pumped chicken
Ziang's Oriental Food Workshop No worries, I’ll wait until it’s back in stock then I’ll order a few bits. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, just watching a show called the million pound menu.
Nice! Can't get that brand of sweetcorn here in Thailand , but the sweetcorn that the vendors sell here on the cob isdeelish.. so here goes. By the way..at last what looks to be a decent chinese food channel. Subscribed and thnks to you both!
I never realised that it was so easy. I prefer crab and sweetcorn soup so is that exactly the same but just substituting the chicken wich crab or is it more involved?
I actually can’t believe it isn’t made with chicken stock! My local takeaway has the best chicken and sweet corn soup I have tried anywhere, it has a really rich taste and very peppery. Would the peppery flavour be white pepper?
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thank you for the response. I have been binge watching your videos after discovering your channel a few days ago. I’ll be making this dish soon and will definitely be trying many more! Fantastic stuff!
Ok, First - Thanks man! So many other sources are like 'This is what a takeaway does, but with my own twist!' It's refreshing to see this series! Secondly...I tried this, and it came out pretty good - Do you add a whole beaten egg? I found that there were LOADS of ribbons with just 1 egg - granted it was a large one.
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I'll look forward to that. It's been a favourite of mine since I was little. Awesome work you're both doing, you got one more patron - all the best from Wales 👍
Jessica Wooding I used to work in a Chinese takeaway, they added creamed sweet corn to the same recipe as this and it made the soup a little more yellow.
Another great vid from quite possibly the happiest chefs on TH-cam! How long before the "MSG makes your head fall off" brigade rock up and start bashing you in the comments section?! Tend to see that on pretty much every oriental cooking channel.
MrSDSTRIKEBREAKER poor research and no knowledge of prior research, i actually have a dgree in biology and looked into the affects of MSG, most mordern unbias research suggests that there is no correlation between MSG and poor health. Having said that it is very much like salt. So moderation is advised. 😊😊
Most of the Chinese food in takeaways in the UK isn't really Chinese food, it's westernized, started in America and worked it's way over here, most takeaway owners dont eat what they cook, many don't even like it.
YOU SAID IF YOU ADD OIL LATER GIVES A FISHY TASTE , CAN I PRESUME THAT IF YOU DID THAT AND REPLACE CHICKEN WITH CRAB STICKS THAT WOULD BE THE RECIPE FOR CRAB AND SWEET CORN ONE , WELL ANYWAY AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EASY ONE AND ANOTHER RECIPE ADDED TO MY DINERS , GREAT JOB
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop hi, where do you buy frozen crab meat? also, i have seen many recipes for this and they always use creamed corn? do you ever use the creamed corn?
you can get frozen crab meat in any good chinese supermarket and creamed corned is used because its cheap, really really back takeaways will use it, but takeaways like ours with a 5 star rating won't use it, you can just switch it out if you want, no issue there ;)
You can get our Chinses Takeaway Cooking Bible as an eCookbook on amazon kindle app here: amzn.to/3ebLYLZ

Amazing! So glad it worked but try it as we have done it and it will be like a standard takeaway one :)
It doesnt need anything else, there's enough flavour there.
It definitely needs chciken stock to give it a better taste and more like my favourite take for soup.
I'm sick today (worst cold I've had in years) and really didn't fancy much for dinner. While procrastinating I browsed through your channel and ended up being inspired by this video to make egg drop soup. Light and nutritious, it was just what I needed.

Great recipe had a go and it's amazing bit how would I make a larger batch to server maybe 6
Just multiple the ingredients :)

Hi. I’ve been trying to cook chicken and sweetcorn soup for ages yet never managed to get the takeaway taste.. I do now!!!
😊
Amazing!!! Thanks again guys... 100% gonna try this one
No worries :) a pleasure as always!
Hi the chicken how do I make it as it’s raw chicken I buy
I love hot and sour soup. would the recipe differ a lot? would love for you to make a video on this :)
Yes it's hugely different, we have a video lined up for it, but we have had over 1500 people ask for many different dishes so we will get to them all as soon as we can :)

Ain't no thing though, at the end of the day I dunno what to do with half a beaten egg so may aswell use it all.

Supermarket does cooked chicken strips in the frozen section, once I remember to defrost some, this whole thing from prep to eating takes about 10 mins. Quick ask - If I was to do one of the other soups (Chicken/Mushroom, Crab/Sweetcorn) is it literally subbing in the different bits, or are there other ingredients added?
Chicken and mushroom is different but crab is just taking the chicken and swapping it with the crab :)

Really depends on what your using it for, toasted is my fav and best for soups, blackened is where the seeds are toasted til.thwy blacken and is much stronger and bitter, but really good for marinades

2. Is the chicken raw or did you velvet it first ?
Thanks. I’m doing some Chinese stuff in my chanel after getting inspiration from you 2 legends. I always mention you 🙌🏻
The chicken is pre poached and the water is cold 😊
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thank you 🍺🍺
Amazing guys thanks. Can I ask - the hydrated chicken you use a lot in recipes - is it something you make, or buy processed? Where can I buy from?
Most takeaways will buy it in pre cooked it's normally 70% 30% water, hence why it's so soft, back in the day they used to come in raw and we've done s prep video on it that will be out this Friday. But you need to find the water pumped chicken
Another thing to make for my mum 😊just wondered if you have the garlic powder back in stock? I wanted to buy a few bits last night
No it will be in week tomorrow, didn't realise how quickly it would sell

No worries, I’ll wait until it’s back in stock then I’ll order a few bits. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, just watching a show called the million pound menu.
I'd take a bucket full pls it's that yummy
Us too lol
Nice! Can't get that brand of sweetcorn here in Thailand , but the sweetcorn that the vendors sell here on the cob isdeelish.. so here goes. By the way..at last what looks to be a decent chinese food channel. Subscribed and thnks to you both!
any tinned sweet corn will do really :) and thank you :)
I never realised that it was so easy. I prefer crab and sweetcorn soup so is that exactly the same but just substituting the chicken wich crab or is it more involved?
Yesh used canned crab meat
Cannot wait to try this recipe!
let us know how you get on :)
I actually can’t believe it isn’t made with chicken stock! My local takeaway has the best chicken and sweet corn soup I have tried anywhere, it has a really rich taste and very peppery. Would the peppery flavour be white pepper?
Yes white pepper :) and some places will use stock, but we teach the most likely version you’ll get
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thank you for the response. I have been binge watching your videos after discovering your channel a few days ago. I’ll be making this dish soon and will definitely be trying many more! Fantastic stuff!
YES!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!
😊😊😊
Ok, First - Thanks man! So many other sources are like 'This is what a takeaway does, but with my own twist!' It's refreshing to see this series!
Secondly...I tried this, and it came out pretty good - Do you add a whole beaten egg? I found that there were LOADS of ribbons with just 1 egg - granted it was a large one.
Really glad you're enjoying it :)
Yep, it works 👌 Thanks 😁
😊😊😊😊
Would love to learn how to make wonton soup next 🍜 🙏
We will post that one day :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop I'll look forward to that. It's been a favourite of mine since I was little. Awesome work you're both doing, you got one more patron - all the best from Wales 👍
great video looks yummy
You should be using creamed sweet corn!! Proper way lol, after all you DO sell it 😉
Lol I hate creamed sweet corn, no takeaway I work in used it, but we do know that many do :)
The best chicken and sweet corn soup I've ever had has always been a deeper yellow colour, do you know what makes it that colour please :)
A touch of tuermic

I used to work in a Chinese takeaway, they added creamed sweet corn to the same recipe as this and it made the soup a little more yellow.
Can anyone advise how I make the cornstarch up? Or do you buy it in liquid form?
Potato starch is 1000 times better and its a 2:1 ratio 2 parts water to 1 part starch
Another great vid from quite possibly the happiest chefs on TH-cam! How long before the "MSG makes your head fall off" brigade rock up and start bashing you in the comments section?! Tend to see that on pretty much every oriental cooking channel.
MrSDSTRIKEBREAKER poor research and no knowledge of prior research, i actually have a dgree in biology and looked into the affects of MSG, most mordern unbias research suggests that there is no correlation between MSG and poor health. Having said that it is very much like salt. So moderation is advised. 😊😊
Also thanks for the compliment means alot to me and mum 😊😊😊😊
Love your show !
Thank you :)
That’s nice to know, a bit of history on the sweetcorn
Most of the Chinese food in takeaways in the UK isn't really Chinese food, it's westernized, started in America and worked it's way over here, most takeaway owners dont eat what they cook, many don't even like it.
YOU SAID IF YOU ADD OIL LATER GIVES A FISHY TASTE , CAN I PRESUME THAT IF YOU DID THAT AND REPLACE CHICKEN WITH CRAB STICKS THAT WOULD BE THE RECIPE FOR CRAB AND SWEET CORN ONE , WELL ANYWAY AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EASY ONE AND ANOTHER RECIPE ADDED TO MY DINERS , GREAT JOB
They won’t add oil later, they’ll just boil it
how many spoons of corn starch/corn flour do I need
You keep adding until thickened, it's different every time
Thanks guys! Can you show us how to make crab meat and sweetcorn! Keep up the amazing work xx
It's basically the same expect for chicken you use frozen crab meat :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop hi, where do you buy frozen crab meat? also, i have seen many recipes for this and they always use creamed corn? do you ever use the creamed corn?
you can get frozen crab meat in any good chinese supermarket and creamed corned is used because its cheap, really really back takeaways will use it, but takeaways like ours with a 5 star rating won't use it, you can just switch it out if you want, no issue there ;)
I’ve always preferred the crab and sweetcorn soup. Do takeaways used canned or fresh crab?
Always canned, but a resturant (if it's good) will use fresh :)
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Cheers! I will have to make some this weekend.
I made the crab version of this soup last night and it was bloody delicious! Loving this channel. Keep up the good work guys
awesome, glad it woork out well for you :)
Hi Guys
Could this be put in the fridge overnight and reheated or would it be ruined?
it wouldn't really work, best is to cook it fresh
Have you done video for crispy duck or salt and pepper chicken wings ? Love the video's 💓
No not yet but there on the request list already:)
