    Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl to combine and season to taste with soy sauce and freshly ground white pepper. Pour over corn mixture and cook for 2 minutes, using a wooden spatula to draw cooked egg into centre and evenly disperse corn mixture. Cook until egg starts to set (about 3 minutes). Scatter over crab meat and cook, without stirring, until almost set (about another 3 minutes).
