Easy Winter Melon Soup
Chinese Winter Melon Soup, also called Dong Gua Tang, is a light tasting and mildly sweet soup that Chinese families like to cook. After brewing the soup for 2 to 3 hours, the winter melon meat will be so soft that they simply melt in your mouth. You will want to have more of them as they are so easy to eat. Although the Chinese soup takes time to cook, it is very easy to make. See the easy cooking recipe below.
Cooking Ingredients (serve 3 - 4):1 kg winter melon 350g pork ribs 6 red dates, seeded 3 dried scallop 10 cups water (2 litres) 1 tablespoon wolfberries Salt to taste
Cooking Instruction:
Peel, seed and cut the winter melon into chunks. Rinse red dates and dried scallops. Rinse pork ribs and blanch them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Remove and rinse with clean tap water. Add all the above ingredients (except for wolfberries and salt) to a pot with 10 cups of water. Bring to boil then simmer on low heat for 2 to 3 hours. Add wolfberries into the pot during the last 30 minutes. Add salt to taste just before serving. Serve hot.
