Winter melon with minced meat sauce

Remove the seeds and skin from the winter melon and cut it into large blocks. Cut the corners slightly rounded for a beautiful finish

Put the winter melon in boiling water with salt (not included in the recipe), turn on the heat and parboil for about 20 minutes

Put A into another pot, add the winter melon and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with aluminum foil and simmer for about 10 minutes

Gently remove the winter melon, add the ground meat to the remaining juice, and bring to a boil over high heat

Skim off any scum and add B, then add the winter melon to the pot, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil

Turn off the heat, add the water-dissolved potato starch, stir thoroughly, then turn the heat back on and thicken. Serve on a plate and top with shredded shiso leaves
