Ingredients

Hen tender meat (tendons removed, pounded into paste) 200 g

Ham meat (steamed until cooked, minced) 50 g

Egg whites 120 g

Salt 6 g

White pepper 1 g

Cooking wine 25 g

MSG 5 g

Wet starch a pinch

Cold broth to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Remove the tendons from the chicken tender and pound it into a paste. Mix with cold broth to form a paste, then add MSG and wet starch and stir evenly, then pour in the egg whites and mix together. Steam the ham until cooked and chop into mince.

Step 2

Bring the soup to a gentle boil (a rolling boil will scatter the paste and prevent it from forming), pour in the prepared mixture, gently push with a ladle to prevent sticking to the pot, and once cooked and floating, scoop out with a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to serve.
