Ingredients

Let’s Cook!

• 1
  You only need half the melon for this recipe. Peel the rind, cut into slice.
  
• 2
  Cut into small pieces. Remove seeds with spoon leaving the pulp untouched. You can save time by not removing the seeds which are actually edible. In fact they falls out from the pulp after boiling for long time.
  
• 3
  Cut the carrot into pieces.
  
• 4
  Prepare 9 slices of ginger.
  
• 5
  Soak the dried oyster with hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and leave aside.
  
• 6
  Prepare dried red date slice. Increase amount slightly for extra sweetness if you want.
  
• 7
  Rinse the dried goji berries once. Drain and leave aside.
  
• 8
  Prepare a pot of 1200ml water enough to cover the pork ribs. Add the thawed pork ribs, 6 slices of ginger and 2 tablespoons of cooking wine. Cover and turn on high heat.
  
• 9
  Once it starts boiling vigorously, remove the pork ribs and leave aside.
  
• 10
  Prepare a new pot of 1500ml hot water enough to cover all ingredients. Add the parboiled pork ribs, red date slice, presoaked dried oyster, carrot, 3 slices of ginger, shark's fin melon and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine. Cover and turn on high heat for 20 minutes. Then turn to low-medium heat for another 40 minutes. You have to replenish with hot water as the melon absorbs water quickly during boiling.
