First, prepare the vegetables. Cut the onion into small pieces and crush the garlic.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Cover and sauté over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the onions are soft.

Add the chicken cut into pieces and simmer until soft.

Add the corn, sliced carrots and pour in 1 litre of water.

Bring to a boil, add soy sauce and chilli sliced thinly (if using). Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes more until the vegetables are completely soft.
