Winter Melon Soup with Dried Shrimp

Winter Melon Soup with Dried Shrimp

　　1. Peel the winter melon, remove the pulp, wash it clean, and cut it into tile-shaped slices. Place the dried shrimp in a bowl, soak them in boiling water to soften, then rinse off any impurities and set aside.

2. Place the soup pot on the stove, add lard and heat until hot. Stir-fry the shredded scallions and ginger along with the dried shrimp in the pot. Then pour in 750 grams of chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the winter melon slices and cook for 5 minutes, then add fine salt and MSG, drizzle in beaten eggs, remove from heat, and pour into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped coriander to serve.
