This soup is very refreshing during the hot weather.
Thickened soup often called "Kang" in Chinese can be served as a one-dish meal.
The main ingredients are: wintermelon (skinned and cut into cubes), chicken breast (diced), prawns (diced), fresh mushroom (diced/sliced) spring onions (diced), garlic(minced) slices of ginger and of course chicken stock/broth.
Remove from the heat and leave aside covered.
Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients:
1. season diced chicken with soya sauce, pepper and cornstarch
2. dice the prawns and season with a bit of sugar.
3. blanch fresh mushroom in boiling water for just a few second - to remove the "raw" smell
dish up and set aside.Bring the pot of wintermelon back to a boil (by now they should have all turned transparent).
Add the fresh mushroom followed by the chicken.
Adjust seasoning and thicken the soup with a bit of cornstarch solution (if necessary and you prefer it thick).
Lastly add the prawns.
Remove from heat immediately so as not to overcook the prawns.
