Step 1
Peel the 500g winter melon, remove seeds, and slice into 2cm cubes. Thinly slice 2 of the 3 green onions, keeping the third for garnish.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the 250g ground pork, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and half the sliced green onions. Roll into small meatballs, about 2cm each.
Step 3
Bring the 1 liter chicken broth to a boil in a pot. Add the winter melon cubes and cook over medium heat until they turn translucent, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Drop in the meatballs gently. Simmer until they float and are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt, adjusting to taste.
Step 5
Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining sliced green onion. Serve hot.
