Big round Winter Melon. Saw Auntie Claire's post on Winter Melon Soup in December 2009. Am now going to attempt to cook Winter Melon Soup .
One Winter Melon, cut and cleaned. Two pieces of roast porkbones, some scallops, some dried oyster, some red dates and some Gei Zhi.
Alamak! put into which pot ah? one is too small and the other is too big.
In the end, Mamarazzi put into a BIG pot and steamed it. Alamak! How come the Winter Melon become "kedut" jor geh? Hmmm....must be Mamarazzi didn't "jaga" the fire properly and steamed too long.
Uh....lucky. The soup is still in the melon. Taste? Not bad la for the 1st attempt.
Good one :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO.... must crown you Soup Queen la, mamarazzi... now you got me into soup fever liao! LOL...
ReplyDeleteWah..big winter melon!! Dun think i can make this soup cos seldom finding such a big melon and worst tak ada such a big pot to fit the melon..hehehhe.
ReplyDeletei guess de soup must be very refreshing.
Good attempt. Actually what I do is I will cut the melon into smaller cubes, add some pork ribs, dates, and chicken feet into a pot of boiled water!! Let it simmer and add salt to taste. Simple. :) Happy cooking. At least, little boy like to drink soup. I still trying hard to get my gal to drink soup. Depends on her mood, she can drink a small bowl of soup.

Any soup cook with roast pork bones sure sweet and nice one.
Sometimes I make Lo Han Gua leong sui put winter melon shredded finely, longan and white fungus. Very nice. No need to put rock sugar, the leong sui already sweet

My mum used to "tan" this soup in the melon when we were younger. She also did a sweet version of tong sui... put cane sugar and red dates instead. Very yun and yummy :-).
ReplyDeleteNowadays, she just chop everything and put inside the slow cooker.
