Chinese-Style Winter Melon and Sakura Shrimp Soup Flavored with Ginger

Winter melon is said to be comprised of 95% water content. As a diuretic, it's good for dieters, and it's also full of potassium. I came up with this Chinese style soup so that you can absorb the full nutrients of winter melon. Boost your metabolism with a touch of ginger!
It's best to season with ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil (the ingredients marked ★) right before removing from heat. For 3 or more servings. Recipe by Mimato
