For 4 servings
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and chopped spring onion whites. Sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown them.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cream style corn, and sweet corn kernels. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, which should take about 5 minutes.
Once boiling, add the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water until completely smooth to create a slurry. While stirring the soup continuously, slowly pour in the slurry. Continue to stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens to a silky consistency.
Reduce the heat to its lowest setting so the soup is barely simmering. While stirring the soup gently and continuously in a circular motion with a ladle, slowly pour the beaten eggs in a thin, steady stream from about 6 inches above the pot. The motion will create long, delicate ribbons. Turn off the heat immediately after the egg is added.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onion greens and serve immediately.

White pepper provides a distinct, earthy heat that is characteristic of many Chinese and Indo-Chinese dishes. Black pepper has a more pungent, aromatic flavor that would change the authentic taste of the soup. It's highly recommended to use white pepper for this recipe.
This usually happens for two reasons: either the soup was boiling too rapidly, which scrambles the egg into small bits, or the egg was poured in too quickly. Ensure the soup is at a very gentle simmer and pour the egg in a very thin, slow stream while stirring gently.
This soup is best enjoyed fresh, especially after the egg is added, as the texture of the egg ribbons can change upon reheating. You can prepare the soup base (up to step 3) ahead of time and then reheat, thicken, and add the egg just before serving.
