Instructions

Place ribs in clean water, bring to boil and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Transfer out and rinse under running water.

Cut the rind of winter melon and then cut it into large chunks. I recommend keeping some of the green skin in order to keep the shape after cooking. By the way, this can also enhance the flavor and increase the fiber content.
