Recipe: Shark's Fin Melon Soup 鱼翅瓜汤

Do not be mistaken. This is NOT Shark's Fin Soup with melon. This soup is made with a type of melon called Shark's Fin Melon (鱼翅瓜). This melon is so named because once cooked, the flesh will disintegrate into transparent strands that resembles shark's fins. Do not confuse this melon with it's cousin, Winter Melon although you could prepare them practically the same way! Here are some benefits of the Shark's Fin Melon: - Low in calories  - Expels heatiness - Decreases blood sugar I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit!
