Simmered Winter Melon with Chicken Drumettes

Simmered Winter Melon with Chicken Drumettes is a delicious dish full of flavour. The texture of the semi-transparent winter melon is so delicate. It can be served as a main or a side dish. You will have a generous amount of flavoursome sauce left over, which is perfect for ramen soup!

Wafū Mushroom Pasta is not made with a cream or a tomato sauce. Its flavour comes from plenty of Asian mushrooms with a bit of bacon, soy sauce and mirin.
