Step 1
Bring broth to a boil in a large pot. Whisk tomato paste with 2 tbsp water until smooth, then stir into broth.
Step 2
While broth simmers, pat fish dry and season with salt, pepper, and sliced chilies. Steam on a plate above simmering broth for 8–10 minutes until opaque.
Step 3
In a separate skillet, sauté frozen peas and corn over medium-high with 1 tbsp oil for 3 minutes until bright and warmed through.
Step 4
Whisk eggs in a bowl. Slowly drizzle into the simmering broth while stirring gently—egg will set into silky ribbons, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Taste and adjust with salt, white pepper, and a splash of white vinegar if desired for tang.
Step 6
Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with a piece of steamed fish and a spoonful of stir-fried peas and corn. Serve hot.
