1. Rinse and place the chicken in a large saucepan. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 45 minutes.
2. With large tongs or a slotted spoon transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, shred about 1 cup of the meat and reserve for the soup. (Cover and refrigerate the remaining chicken for another use.) With a slotted spoon, remove any scum from the broth, then mix in the corn and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer about 5 minutes.
3. Dissolve the cornstarch in about 1/3 cup water and add it to the soup, stirring constantly to prevent the formation of lumps. Continue to stir until the soup thickens, about 2 minutes.
4. Mix the egg whites with 2 to 3 tablespoons water and stir them into the soup slowly. Keep stirring as you add the egg, or it will coagulate into big lumps. Mix in the vinegar and the green chili peppers, if using, sprinkle the black pepper on top and serve hot.
