HAIRY MELON SOUP (JIT GUAH JUNG) (20 MOTT STREET RESTAURANT)

Steps:

• Chop all ingredients into 1/4-inch pieces. (Save several small pieces of crabmeat to garnish the edges of the melon.) Mix together and divide into 6 equal portions. Place a portion inside each melon cavity. Add chicken broth to within 1/2 inch of top of melon.
• Place melon halves in a steamer. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a wok and place steamer over water. Cover and steam for 1 1/2 hours over medium heat. Keep boiling water ready to replace water lost to evaporation.
