Dry Scallop stuffed Fuzzy Melon

I have been thinking of Chinese food that I have made or haven’t made for a long while. In my family, we usually don’t make this dish at home, possibly due to dry scallops being quite expensive and this dish takes a long time to make. But actually this is a very easy to make dish and even Mr. S, who doesn’t like dry scallops or melon said he liked it. Don’t let the word ‘fuzzy’ scared you to not try this delicious melon!


Ingredients
*1 Fuzzy melon, pilled
*8 dried scallop
*1Tablespoon oyster sauce
*1/2 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
