Method
 

Directions
  1. Dice boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
  3. Add the diced chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to dissolve any flavorful bits. Add the sweet corn and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in soy sauce and sliced green onions, allowing to meld for a couple of minutes.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnishing with extra green onions and serve hot.
