remember the hairy melon risotto? i attemped more hairy melon cooking with the other half of the melon. plus mum scored 2 more hairy melons from her friend and gave me one more ^^ fun time cooking hairy melon ~ but normal chinese style this time :)

this one - braised hairy melon, using chinese roast pork, garlic and chopped dried shrimp to start the wok. then add spoonfuls of stock, and let it bubble away~~ the melon absorbed all the lovely flavours and was soooo soft and juicy! delish~~!

next - hairy melon in thick julienne pan fried with smoked duck, onion and egg omelette. with half a melon left, i just came up with this last minute idea. chuck in the leftover meat, chopped onion *generally a good neutral ingredient that gives nice sweet flavour and goes well with anything*, then round it off with scrambled egg. :) the hairy melon would need a while to cook through even in thick julienne form. the melon turned out a little bit to the raw-er side... the dish looked a bit like a doggies breakfast, but its not bad taste wise~

finally - a lovely hairy melon soup. this is a cheat version as i had about half an hour to cook up this soup. i chucked in some pork pieces, stock *i used homemade abalone chicken stock donated by mum~~*, water along with the hairy melon, rounded off with a salted egg and a century old egg. YUMMMMMM!!! love a beautiful soup :)
