Ingredients

Chicken tenderloin (tendons removed, pounded into paste) 200 g

Ham (steamed and minced) 50 g

Egg whites 120 g

Salt 6 g

White pepper 1 g

Cooking wine 25 g

MSG 5 g

Wet cornstarch a pinch

Cold broth to taste

Instructions

Prepare the meat paste

Pound the chicken tenderloin into a paste after removing the tendons. Mix with cold broth to form a smooth batter, then stir in MSG and wet cornstarch until evenly combined. Finally, fold in the egg whites. Steam the ham until cooked through, then mince it finely.

Shape and cook

Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then slowly pour in the prepared mixture. Gently push with a ladle without letting it stick to the pot. Once cooked and floating on the surface, scoop it out with a fine-mesh strainer into a serving bowl.
