Poached Egg in Microwave

Want a perfectly poached egg in 60 seconds? It's much easier than you think. 

Ta Da!

I love adding this to my home made noodle soups. 

Poached Egg in Microwave

Add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of water in a microwave safe bowl, crack egg into bowl. Depending on strength of your microwave, put in for 30 seconds, take a quick look and add time accordingly*. My lightweight microwave takes about 60 seconds.

* Err on the side of less time, too much time will cause the yolk to explode, which is no fun cleaning up.

Creamed Chicken and Corn Soup (Instant)

I usually like to make things from scratch but I also enjoy an instant recipe now and then for those lazy days. This tastes like egg drop soup and is perfect as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!

Before...

and After!

In my opinion, the brand of canned food makes or breaks the dish (taste-wise) so try to be brand specific.

Creamed Chicken and Corn Soup (Instant)

Ingredients:
Chicken Broth - 1 can (Swanson)
Cream Style Sweet Corn - 1 can (Green Giant)
Egg - 1
[optional] Cilantro, Salt, White Pepper, Sesame Oil and Sugar to taste

Directions:
1. Combine chicken broth and corn in pot and heat.
2. Beat egg and season with salt, white peper and sesame oil.
3. When soup comes to a boil, drop in egg mixture. Wait 5 second, then stir very gently. The egg will cook better this way.
4. Taste and season soup with salt and white pepper and/or sugar and sesame oil. 
5. Top with chopped cilantro to serve. For more cilantro taste, you can also added some cilantro stalks in soup before it boils.
