Ingredients
- 1 lbs. Winter Melon
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger root - minced
- 1 small organic carrot - cut into 1/2 cubes
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 can Straw Mushrooms (15 oz.) drained
- 1/4 lbs. Mushrooms cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 2 organic green onions including tops, cut into 1/2 pieces
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch - mixed with 4 tsp. water
Directions
Remove skin and seeds from Winter Melon. Cut flesh into 1/2 cubes.
Place a wok or wide frying pan over high heat until hot. Add vegetable oil, swirling to coat sides. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Add Winter Melon and carrot and cook for 30 seconds. Add broth.
Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Add straw mushrooms and fresh mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes or until carrot is crisp-tender. Add soy sauces, sesame oil, and green onions, and cook for 30 seconds. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
Chef Yan's Note:
I used both regular and dark soy sauce for the balance of flavors.

- I just tried making this and feel that the resulting taste does not match the winter melon. The sesame oil gives the dish an overall strange taste. I think that simply cooking winter melon with salt, oil, ginger, and corn starch is much better.
