Prepare the asparagus: Trim the tough woody ends from the asparagus spears. Slice the spears diagonally into approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. If you reserved some tips for garnish, set them aside. Set the remaining asparagus pieces aside.
â±ïž 5 minutes - 2
Simmer the asparagus: Pour the chicken stock into a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Add the prepared asparagus pieces (not the reserved tips, if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and bright green. Do not overcook.
â±ïž 7 minutes - 3
Add crab and seasoning: Gently stir in the flaked crab meat and the white pepper. Let it heat through for about 2 minutes. Taste the broth and season with salt if needed. Remember that the crab and stock may already be salty.
â±ïž 2 minutes - 4
Thicken the soup: Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir to ensure it's smooth. Gradually pour the slurry into the simmering soup while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the soup thickens to your desired consistency, which should be noticeably thicker but still pourable, about 1-2 minutes.
â±ïž 2 minutes - 5
Incorporate egg whites: Reduce the heat to low. While stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle the lightly beaten egg whites into the pot. The egg whites will cook into delicate ribbons. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until the egg whites are fully cooked and dispersed.
â±ïž 1 minute - 6
Finish and serve: Stir in the optional sesame oil for added aroma. Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. If you reserved asparagus tips, you can briefly blanch them and use them as a garnish. Serve immediately.
