This Winter Melon Stew with Dried Seafood and Chinese Sausage is a luxurious, umami-packed dish that brings together premium ingredients for a deeply flavorful and comforting meal. Tender winter melon is hollowed out and stuffed with a rich mix of dried scallops, shrimp, mushrooms, cordyceps flowers, and savory Chinese sausage, creating layers of texture and taste. The natural sweetness of the melon melds perfectly with the briny depth of the seafood and the smoky richness of the sausage. Slowly stewed for over an hour, the broth becomes incredibly aromatic without needing extra seasoning—every spoonful is a burst of savory goodness. Perfect for special occasions or a nourishing family dinner, this dish is as impressive as it is delicious. Try it for a taste of traditional Cantonese-inspired comfort!

Step 1

Rinse the dried scallops and dried shrimp, and set them aside.

Step 2

Rinse the mushrooms, soak them in water until they are soft, then cut them into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Rinse the cordyceps flowers and soak them in clean water.

Step 4

Rinse the Chinese sausage and slice it.

Step 5

Rinse the winter melon, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the center, and set it aside.

Step 6

Put the ingredients into the winter melon.

Step 7

Because I prefer to eat winter melon, I add a layer of ingredients and then a layer of winter melon flesh.

Step 8

Finally, put the marinated meat on top, add some water, and bring to a boil. Then, stew for at least an hour and a half. If the water is not enough, add more boiling water and continue to stew.

Step 9

After stewing, no additional seasoning is needed, and the dish can be served directly.
