1. Make soup with the skin of winter melon. The soup is very fragrant. I learned this and share it with you.
2. Clam has its own umami flavor, so no other seasonings, including MSG and chicken essence, are needed in this soup.
3. Boil the winter melon first, then open the clam shell and open your mouth. The time should not be too long, otherwise the clam will age easily and lose its delicious flavor
