A comforting and hearty Indo-Chinese soup with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Creamy sweet corn and delicate egg ribbons make this a restaurant-style favorite you can easily make at home.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cream style corn, and sweet corn kernels. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper, salt, and sugar (if using). Let it simmer for 3-4 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 the slurry into the pot. Continue to stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. While stirring the soup gently and continuously in one direction, slowly pour the beaten eggs in a thin, steady stream from a height. This technique will create beautiful, long, and delicate egg ribbons. Cook for about 30 seconds until the egg is just set.
Turn off the heat. Stir in the toasted sesame oil for a final touch of aroma. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped spring onion greens, and serve immediately.

The key is to lower the heat to a bare simmer and stir the soup gently in one direction. Pour the beaten egg in a very thin, slow stream from a bit of a height. The slow, constant motion of the soup will draw the egg out into long, delicate strands.
This soup is best served fresh, especially after the egg is added, as the ribbons can break down upon reheating. You can prepare the soup base (up to step 3) ahead of time and then reheat, thicken with cornstarch, and add the egg just before serving.
Lumps are usually caused by the cornstarch. To avoid them, make sure you mix the cornstarch with cold water until it's completely smooth before adding it to the hot soup. Also, stir the soup continuously as you pour the slurry in.
