Instructions

1 Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and scallops in a bowl of warm water for 20
minutes or until they become soft. Once softened, drain the water and break the
scallops up into smaller pieces or strands. Squeeze out any excess water from
the mushrooms and chop them in half
2 Combine the ground pork, Shaoxing wine, salt and soy sauce in a small bowl. Mix
well and then blend in the cornstarch. Continue mixing until the ground pork
becomes paste-like. Set aside.
3 Wash the winter melon and remove the green skin, seeds and pulp. Then cut it
into 2-inch pieces. Peel the carrot and chop into bite-sized pieces.
4 In a large pot, add the chicken broth in and bring it to a boil. Carefully add
in the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, scallops, ginger, and cooked ham.
5 Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the ground pork mixture and shape it
into a ball. As you finish forming the balls, add them to the broth to cook.
Repeat until all the ground pork is gone and stir occasionally in between balls
to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
6 Let the broth simmer for 5 minutes after finishing the meatballs before adding
in the winter melon and carrots. Bring the entire pot to a boil and then simmer
for another 20 minutes or until the winter melon becomes transparent.
7 Add salt to taste (if needed) and serve hot.
