Winter melon curry stew

Remove the skin and seeds from the winter melon and boil it in boiling water with some salt (not included in the recipe) for about 20 minutes

Chop the onion finely. It's quicker to cut it lengthwise and crosswise while it's still whole, then cut it in half and chop it finely

Heat a frying pan over high heat, add salad oil and fry the onions. Stir with a wooden spoon while frying, and when the onions have softened, add the unsalted butter

Stir-fry while stirring frequently to prevent burning, and when it turns amber, add the kelp stock

Add A and mix well, then add the winter melon and simmer, covering with aluminum foil

After boiling for about 5 minutes, remove from heat, turn the winter melon over, and return to the heat. After boiling for about 15 minutes, remove from heat again and turn over. Return to the heat and once it is warmed through, serve on a plate
