Ingredients
  

  • 600 g winter melon peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 kg chicken breast or 500 g pork ribs
  • 6 dried Chinese mushrooms soaked in warm water for 15 mins, washed, drained, cut into halves
  • 2 dried bean curd sticks soaked in water for 15 mins, drained, cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 6 ginger slices
  • 6 dried oysters washed in hot boiled water
  • 6 dried scallops washed in hot water
  • 300 g silky tofu drained, cut into cubes
  • chicken stock or water
  • seal salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, bring water to boil and parboil the chicken breast meat or pork ribs for a few minutes to remove scum and grit. Discard the water, and wash well.
  • Place all ingredients (except tofu and salt) in a slow cooker. Add enough water or stock to cover the ingredients. Cook on Auto or High setting for at least 3 hours, or till winter melon is soft. If cooking in a deep pot, bring all the ingredients in stock or water to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer for at least 2 to 3 hours, or till winter melon is soft.
  • Add tofu during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking. Season to taste. Serve hot or warm.
