Saw this recipe in one chinese magazine and thought I would like to try this simple and yet delicious dish. I have not tried using winter melon as a savory dish but many times as sweet dessert/cooling tea. I love the idea of steaming it with luncheon ham and chinese mushrooms sandwiched between the melon. The winter melon absorbed in the tasty chicken stock as it was being steamed. Every mouthful is delicious. As usual , I don't understand a word of the chinese characters in the recipe but I tried to understand by just looking at the pictorial step by step guide LOL! Who knows, my version may even taste better than the one in the book...ahem I am just kidding. Anyway, this is delicious as a savory dish. All the wonderful flavors were wonderfully absorbed into the melon comprising delicate flavors from the luncheon ham and mushroom. You can imagine the taste permeating your tongue with every bite! Read on for the simple preparation....
