How to Make Delicious Braised Winter Melon? – Step-by-Step Guide

Q: Can I use a different type of sauce instead of the braising sauce packet?
A: Yes, you can substitute with a homemade mix of soy sauce, sugar, and a bit of oyster sauce for a similar flavor profile.

Q: Is it necessary to fry the winter melon before braising?
A: Frying the winter melon first helps to create a slightly crispy texture on the outside, enhancing the overall dish. However, you can skip this step if you prefer a softer texture.

Q: How long should I braise the winter melon?
A: Braising for about 5 minutes after adding the braising sauce and water is sufficient. Adjust the time based on the desired tenderness of the winter melon.
