Greetings, everyone! This time, the dish I'd like to share is a winter melon soup that goes perfectly with hot rice.

  • 5 shrimp (peeled)
  • 1 shallot
  • Salt and pepper powder, 1/4 teaspoon
  • Fish sauce, 1 teaspoon
  • Vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons

  • 1 thinly sliced shallot
  • 1 liter of water
  • A little pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small winter melon (peeled and cut into medium-sized pieces)
  • 2 stalks of spring onion (cut into 1-inch lengths)

Step-by-step instructions

1. Thinly slice the shrimp. Slice 1 shallot thinly as well and add it together into a bowl. Then add salt, pepper powder, and fish sauce, and mix well until thoroughly combined.

2. Heat a pot for boiling, then add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the shallot and fry for about 30 seconds.

3. Then pour in the shrimp and fish sauce mixture. Stir until the shrimp turns pink.

4. Then add water and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, add salt and sugar.

5. Add the winter melon. Let it cook until the winter melon becomes soft.

Then add pepper powder and taste to check the seasoning for saltiness.

And there you have it - a delicious, hot winter melon and shrimp soup ready to serve.
