Top 5 dishes made from Chicken Stock *OR 2 cups Water & 2 teaspoons Asian Chicken Bouillon Powder
1 . Simmered Hairy Melon & Pork
Simmered Hairy Melon & Pork
One day about 20 years ago, I was walking on a street in Melbourne with Liana, my sister in law, and my daughter who was very young then. In front of a greengrocer, a vegetable caught my eyes. ‘Hairy Melon? That’s a unique name for a vegetable. Is it hairy?’ Liana touched it and said, ‘Oh! It is hairy.’ Then my young daughter also touched it and said, ‘Feels like Granny’s leg.’ Liana and I burst into laughter. Since then, the vegetable called Hairy Melon has become well known among my family members. It is suitable for stews and soups.
Ingredient
2 tablespoons
Potato Starch *mixed with 2 tablespoons Water
2 tablespoons
Sake (Rice Wine)
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Oyster Sauce *OR extra Soy Sauce
1/2 teaspoon
Sesame Oil *optional
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut off the ends of Hairy Melon, cut into 2cm thick rounds, then remove tough skin, and cut each round into quarters.
* Step 2
*Note: If you prefer, you can peel the skin first and cut into bite-size pieces, but it might be difficult to do so as the skin is hard and thick.
* Step 3
Place all the Soup ingredients in a large saucepan OR deep frying pan, add Hairy Melon pieces, cover with a lid, and bring to the Boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
* Step 4
Add Pork pieces, cover with the lid, and bring back to the boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes OR until Hairy Melon is soft.
* Step 5
Add Salt and White Pepper as required. Stir the Potato Starch mixture, and gradually add it to the soup as you stir until the desired thickness is achieved. You don’t need to add all of it.
* Step 6
Sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion, and serve hot.

2 . Black Fungus & Egg Soup
Black Fungus & Egg Soup
Today I added Black Fungus to my ‘Simple Egg Soup’ and seasoned it with Oyster Sauce instead of Soy Sauce. This soup was so comforting and I enjoyed the crunchy Black Fungus. It’s getting cold in Melbourne where I live. This is a perfect soup to enjoy with freshly cooked Rice.
Ingredient
1/2 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon
Oyster Sauce *OR Soy Sauce, 1 tablespoon is 15ml
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Soak Dried Black Fungus in water in a small bowl until softened. You can use hot water to speed up. Wash very well, drain, and cut in half if large.
* Step 2
Place Chicken Stock, Sesame Oil, Oyster Sauce (OR Soy Sauce) and Black Fungus in a saucepan, and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes, and add Salt & White Pepper to taste. *Note: The amount of Salt depends on the saltiness of the Stock.
* Step 3
Add Potato Starch mixture to the boiling soup as you stir. Once the soup is thickened, add whisked Egg slowly in a circular motion into the soup, but do not stir straight away. When the Egg is softly set, gently stir.
* Step 4
Add some finely chopped Spring Onion and enjoy.

3 . Chicken & Choy Sum Rice Soup
Chicken & Choy Sum Rice Soup
Choy Sum can be substituted with other Asian greens such as Bok Choy, and you can add extra ingredients such as Asian Mushrooms. Just cook Rice and ingredients in Chicken Stock, and you don’t need to stir-fry ingredients with oil. This healthy and satisfying rice soup is super easy to cook.
