Steamed Winter Melon with Ground Pork

This savory Steamed Winter Melon with Minced Meat Sauce is a comforting and flavorful dish that highlights the delicate sweetness of winter melon paired with a rich, umami-packed meat topping. Tender slices of winter melon are lightly salted and steamed to perfection, creating a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The juicy minced meat is stir-fried with aromatic ginger, oyster sauce, and a punch of beef-flavored stir-fry sauce, then simmered in a savory blend of light soy sauce and water for depth. A touch of water starch thickens the sauce into a glossy, velvety coating that clings to the melon. Finished with fresh chopped green onions, this dish balances lightness and heartiness in every bite. Quick to prepare yet restaurant-worthy, it’s a must-try for a satisfying weeknight meal!
