Velvet Corn Soup

We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. |

Chowder breathes reassurance. It steams consolation. |

Wash corn in stock. Drain corn, reserving stock; chop finely and
return to stock. In a cup, mix cornstarch and cold stock to make
paste.
In heavy 2-quart saucepan, heat oil until hot. Saute green onions &
ginger for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add stock & corn; stir & bring to just under boil. Add salt, pepper &
sugar. Simmer 15 minutes or until ready to serve. Just before
serving, turn up heat again to a bubbly boil. Dribble in cornstarch
paste until soup acquires a waxy translucence. It should still be
thin, but not watery. Add sherry. Now beat egg white with a fork to a
light froth. Turn off heat. Quickly swirl in egg whites. Pour into
serving bowl. Garnish with ham. Serve.
