Easy Braised Winter Melon
I could not decide whether to make braised winter melon or winter melon soup, so I decided to make both in a same dish!
I used a "no water pot", so I started cooking on a very low heat, and the cooking time was short. If you are using a normal pot, it will be better to cook longer on low heat. The seasoning is subtle, so adjust the seasoning to your liking. Recipe by Shiokatsuo
