Recently, here in Indonesia, specifically in Jakarta, we are the most polluted city in the world. It’s not just a piece of sad information but also a shame for this country. Moreover, many children and elder people have breathing infections or ISPA.

To be honest, that is so sad to see many children mostly having the same symptoms, such as cough, fever, hard to breathe, and kind of flu. On a big note, It should be a warning and a huge lesson for government to make air clear again.

I saw some threads on Twitter of people taking pictures of the sky in Jakarta. It’s like we live in two layers of sky, first, one is really hazy, dark, and greyish sky, feels like there are no clouds at all because of the pollution.

Meanwhile, after reaching some height from the plane or some altitude it’s become beautiful again. It is highly suggested to use an air purifier at home and close all the windows or way of fresh come in. Lastly, I hope we find the best solutions for this because this world is our children’s future.

What You Need for Crab and Corn Soup

• Cornstarch; Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent in the soup. It creates a smooth and velvety texture by binding the liquids together and giving the soup a consistent body. You can change cornstarch with milk for a more creamy taste
• Egg; adds a rich flavor and silky texture, they form delicate ribbons that enhance the overall creaminess
• Corn; whole-kernel corn, I peeled them manually from fresh corn
• Crab Stick; Crab sticks provide the seafood flavor to the soup. They add a mild crab taste and a chewy texture that mimics real crab meat. you can use fresh crab meat too, since I use what I have in my kitchen
• Onion and Garlic; for the aromatic base flavor
• Chicken Stock Powder; for base flavor and adding a savory umami taste, Chicken stock powder enhances the soup’s savory taste. It provides a concentrated chicken flavor that complements the seafood and balances the flavors in the dish.
• Spring Onion; serve as a colorful garnish, topped after the soup is ready
• Ginger; Ginger adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor this will add a warm sensation to the throat and a mild spicy taste
• Salt, Soy Sauce, and Pepper; for seasoning and enhance flavor
• Sesame Oil; It’s usually added at the end to give the soup a fragrant finishing touch. For alternative, you can substitute with olive oil too, but I prefer sesame oil because it adds depth and nutty flavor plus it smells good when cooked
• Water; for making the crab stock or substitute with no-salt stock,

Let’s Make Crab and Corn Soup

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the onion, garlic, spring onion, and ginger. Additionally, cut the crab stick into julienne strips. Set these components aside for the cooking process.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add cooking oil. Next, once the oil is heated, initiate the cooking journey by sautéing the finely chopped onion, garlic, spring onion, and ginger. Allow them to sizzle and release their fragrant aroma. This step provides the base flavors for your soup.

Next, add the crab stick and corn to the aromatic mixture in the pan. These ingredients will infuse the soup with delightful seafood and sweet flavors. Stir and let them dance together for approximately 3 minutes, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

Now, it’s time to elevate the soup’s foundation. Pour in the water and gradually increase the heat to bring it to a gentle boil. As the liquid simmers, it becomes a canvas for the forthcoming flavors and textures.

Then, when the water reaches a lively boil, introduce the beaten eggs into the simmering liquid. As you stir, watch the eggs create delicate ribbons that seamlessly integrate into the soup. This step imparts a luxurious silkiness and adds visual appeal to the dish.

To enhance the soup’s savory character, introduce the chicken stock powder, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Incorporate these seasonings with purposeful stirring, ensuring that every drop of the broth embraces the flavors.

Garnish

Now, it’s time to achieve the perfect consistency. Incorporate the cornstarch that’s been dissolved in water into the soup. As you stir diligently, the liquid will gradually transform, thickening into a luscious elixir that cradles the ingredients.

Finally, before presenting your masterpiece, shower it with the vibrant freshness of spring onion.

Your culinary journey is complete. With your senses ready to revel in the symphony of flavors, savor every spoonful of the rich and hearty crab and corn soup
