Fish and Corn soup!

A lot of people are very familiar with "Crab and Corn soup". Perhaps because of the catchy tune that accompanied the TV commercial of the Knorr instant soup mix with the same name, the one with "Just add one egg"! Although the instant soup mix is very easy to prepare, it does not have a lot of meat in it. Just full of artificial flavors packed in it. Even the crab is not real. FYI: Crabsticks are not made from crabs but from fish.

Having said that, I have made crab and corn soup, countless times, not from the the instant soup mix. And then I thought, why not make it with fish instead of crabsticks? I cooked a somewhat similar dish before called Fish and Corn but it was not a soup. By adding more water, it can turn into soup. And since my husband loves misua, I also added a few in it.

Ingredients:
1 pack frozen Cream Dory fillets, more or less a kilo
1 can of corn kernels
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bouillon, fish
misua, the quantity may depend on you
cornstarch
salt and white pepper

Cut the fish fillets into bite size and dredge in cornstarch. Deep fry until the breading is cooked. The fish fillets may not look like they were cooked thoroughly but don't worry they will cook in the soup.

Saute the onion and garlic in the pot. Put about 2 liters of water and let it boil. Put the bouillon in the pot. Next, put the egg and stir to disperse it in the soup. Put the misua in the soup. Mix 2-3 Tbsp of cornstarch and enough water to disperse it. Carefully pour the cornstarch mixture in the soup while stirring constantly. Put the fried fish fillets and the corn in the pot. Add sufficient water to the soup. Let it boil for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot!
